"...We hold elections, knowing they are unlikely to produce the policies favored by the majority of Americans. We speak, we write, we advocate - & those in power turn deaf ears & blind eyes to our deepest aspirations. We petition, plead, and even pray - yet the earth that is our commons, which should be passed on in good condition to coming generations, continues to be despoiled. [The people]...have occupied Wall Street because Wall Street has occupied America." ~ Bill Moyers
