Subject:      [Fri] Occupy Wall Street, is it '68 again?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

The "occupy <your town>" is spreading to Canada. Tomorrow grass roots organizers in Vancouver, Edmonton and probably other Canadian cities urge people to assemble in town squares. For those of us too young to have experienced '68 will this be the next best thing? I'll look for VW buses tomorrow (Though I'll probably bike downtown to avoid the likely traffic chaos).

The Economist has a less enthusiastic view of the idea, though (surprisingly) is not outright negative: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:UyO4ajXDaaAJ:www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2011/10/occupy-wall-street-0
