cover seems to show someone from the middle east as if these are the protesters of importance. I would say the occupy protestors would also get recognition as they have brought awareness to the horrible conditions which far to many of our middle class are experiencing. We should be thankful that our protests have thus far been civil and non violent. I fear that unless some ray of hope surfaces, we may well see America become a battle ground that will include violence. For those of us that are getting by most are one step from going negative. However millions of normal working class people who lived by getting by can no longer keep up. If this continues there will a boil over some where and this can become a tragedy. The middle east uprisings are the result of a general population being fed up with a government that would not hear and react to the needs of people. This is what we are seeing today in America.
Our government is disfunctional and has no common direction that is good for all.
