On my last day in New York I went to Zucotti Park to check out the Occupy Wall Street protestors. It had been raining, so everything was wet and kind of filthy, and the protestors seemed restless, but I caught them on a mellower front. Cops were on every corner of the block standing patiently and answering any questions curious passersby were asking. But as I circled the park and walked through it, so many different agendas became apparent and I got the feeling anyone who is upset about anything was stamping his foot and trying to get his voice heard. This protest has set off a chain reaction worldwide, and people are 'occupying' over 80 countries - Canada, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, South Korea, Portugal just to name a few. Will this mark a changing of times? People are certainly raising their voices..
