Non-violence is still an option (albeit difficult)I disagree. I won't spam you all again, but repealing these three laws would avoid yet another economic crisis due to the sort of speculation they allowed:
The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (Gramm-Leach-Bliley),
the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, and
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010FWIW, I also started a petition. Sad to say, it has not been successful.

Re:Rule of the MajorityAnd yet we are currently ruled by a very small and profoundly corrupt sociopathic minority. Taxes on the wealthy are down, down, down, and their income is up, up, up, while we the mules give them everything they have. You write as if you were presenting a cautionary tale of how our beautiful system would be ruined by direct democracy. Our beautiful system has already been ruined! We are already fucked, backwards and forwards! It isn't some vague thing that might or might not happen in the hazy future.
Sign my petition to propose concrete changes that would roll back at least some of what put us here..

Re:Status quo must goThen sign my petition. If there is a single thing that would prevent another economic collapse in the future, it is the immediate repeal of these three acts:
The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (Gramm-Leach-Bliley),
The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, and
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 -
Re:Occupy EverywhereIMHO, they are not doing anything that is likely to achieve any of their movement's ill-defined goals in practice. I would have expected something like proposing we repeal the following legislation in their entirety:
The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (Gramm-Leach-Bliley),
The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, and
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010
If there is a single thing that would prevent another economic collapse in the future, it is the immediate repeal of those three acts.The least they could have done was start a petition.

Re:Occupy is the worst possible model to useHere is a very practical way to obtain the fix: repeal the following legislation in their entirety:
The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (Gramm-Leach-Bliley),
The Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000, and
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010
If there is a single thing that would prevent another economic collapse in the future, it is the immediate repeal of those three acts.You can start by signing a petition.

Re:Too many laws, too many lawyers
More useful than asking what they will do is to ask what they will undo: Repeal the Repeal of Glass-Steagall
