Hi Shannon, actually, this link is for the satellite. I know I did see an update somewhere on the news about a bunch of protestors being arrested in NY. Now not sure where I saw it. It was saying something about 80 people being arrested at the protest. Really bugging me, because I can't remember what site I saw that at.
No worries, - I've done this before myself!

It appears the protests are growing and metastasizing into a formidable movement and not only spreading around the country, but as I understand, attracting people from a variety of industries and backgrounds. With all the people joining, there is momentum building, the protests are gaining traction. What will eventuate remains to be seen but what I find interesting is the potential for it to grow into a viable movement that may not relent less there be some heavy-handed government crackdown.

Btw BBC news television have breaking news on protests in New York where it is reported some several hundred protesters have been arrested. Appears the protests are gaining increasing main stream media coverage.

I just don't get it :scratch in the seventies we wanted to grow our hair long (at least the men), burn our bras (the women did anyway) and smoke pot but today the kids can do all that with their parents permission. Not only that but the pot smokers and bomb throwers are now running the government. So what do they have to protest about.:idunno

Seems to be getting worse in NYC... "Occupy Wall Street" Protests...

NEW YORK (AP) — More than 700 protesters demonstrating against corporate greed, global warming and social inequality, among other grievances, were arrested Saturday after they swarmed the Brooklyn Bridge and shut down a lane of traffic for several hours in a tense confrontation with police.

The group Occupy Wall Street has been camped out in a plaza in Manhattan's Financial District for nearly two weeks staging various marches, and had orchestrated an impromptu trek to Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. They walked in thick rows on the sidewalk up to the bridge, where some demonstrators spilled onto the roadway after being told to stay on the pedestrian pathway, police said.

The majority of those arrested were given citations for disorderly conduct and were released, police said. Some protesters sat on the roadway, chanting "Let us go," while others chanted and yelled at police from the pedestrian walkaway above. Police used orange netting to stop the group from going farther down the bridge, which is under construction.
Some of the protesters said they were lured onto the roadway by police, or they didn't hear the calls from authorities to head to the pedestrian walkway. Police said no one was tricked into being arrested, and those in the back of the group who couldn't hear were allowed to leave. "Multiple warnings by police were given to protesters to stay on the pedestrian walkway and that if they took roadway they would be arrested," said Paul Browne, the chief spokesman of the New York Police Department.

Erin Larkins, a Columbia University graduate student at who says she and her boyfriend have significant student loan debt, was among the thousands of protesters on the bridge. She said a friend persuaded her to join the march and she's glad she did. I don't think we're asking for much, just to wake up every morning not worrying whether we can pay the rent, or whether our next meal will be rice and beans again," Larkins wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "No one is expecting immediate change. I think everyone is just hopeful that people will wake up a bit and realize that the more we speak up, the more the people that do have the authority to make changes in this world listen."
