I'm glad you posted this if only to keep the momentum and the topic front and center. I've listened to the questioning of Barclays former CEO and this petition is right, normal people would go to jail for such behaviors. I don't sign petitions like this though, only because I'll end up getting spam emails from avaaz about every initiative they have. -Maybe I'm wrong about that but I've been burned so many times it's no longer worth it.
I hope that #occupywallstreet starts doing some more newsworthy things. There was a time when it was the top trending tag here. Not so much anymore. I'm guessing that as the elections ramp up and the conventions happen the ows movement will pick up steam. I hope they have an influence on the topics that color the election.
