This rif re finding effective ways for the Wall St protests everywhere to 
actually create change is inspiring and heartening. This is how world-changing 
social movements can happen - and if we pay *ttention to history, we need to 
look to the long haul. You all out there on the front lines for OST are needed 
more than ever!

Ithaca, NY's rally was somewhat ptitful: around 100 people, for little more 
than an hour. But then, the general culture here is activist-progressive, with 
strong local labor union linkages, so corporate greed has been a target for a 
long time. The problem with an academic community (cornell university, ithaca 
college), however, is that we're better at researching, writing abstractly and 
theoretically, and talking about issues than at taking action...
