I wouldn't go that far. One clear demand is a reimposition of Glass-Steagal. Tom Send a noteboard - 30/10/2011 04:56:40 PM
While I'm not sure that would ever happen, it's not a lunatic demand. It's actually a fairly reasonable one and I think that it does help shelter commercial banks and their depositors from the volatility of investment banking.

I still don't understand why they think camping out in a park downtown and shitting all over the place, ruining the grass and disrupting traffic helps forward that agenda, or why demonstrations in NY are justified. Lobby your politicians already.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
