On Sunday October 9, 2011 I had the opportunity to visit the so called Liberty park encampment in New York City. The occupation of Wall Street was underway. No wait a minute I was several blocks away from Wall Street and the big banks and corporations that where being protested.
The protesters were gathered in a small concrete park just north of Ground Zero and across the street from Burger King. Was I mistaken? This could not be the big protest that I had seen on TV, the protest that President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and big labor were endorsing? There were only a couple of hundred people crowded into a small park. Hand painted signs on old pieces of cardboard. Where was the protest that I was looking for?
