Is the world ending?

many important things have transpired this week. our assignment was to pick a date from history, luckily this week is also known as history. this week a couple of historic things happened, steve jobs died, and perhaps the more important one, the 99%ers on wall street are gaining support from the workers union and pilots. this week on wall street the 99%ers gained more supporters. some people are calling them crazy, some praising them. no matter what side of the issue you are on though it is still exciting. change always starts from the corners of society. who know, perhaps this will be as huge as the revolutionary war was.
these people are occupying wall street because they are angry at large corporations, and corporation greed must be stopped in their eyes. this is good in my opinion. it is a source of change, and change is usually a good thing. also some of the ideas that they are bringing to the table are new and exciting to ponder. right now the nation is sort of in shock but also in awe. nothing has been done yet to stop the 99%ers. the nation watches on in anticipation of what will happen next.
(this article was the one that got me more intrigued) http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2011/10/05/141048592/occupy-wall-street-where-everybody-has-a-say-in-everything
although this movement started out by "hippies" now many more influential people are joining the movement. the major event that occurred this week was that pilots and workers union walked with them. this shows that they are gaining momentum and are perhaps are a force to be reckoned with. only time will tell, i cant wait to see and find out.
