7. Very good post, and I have wondered if that is really what it is all about, money.

Eg, I noticed lately that when I go to other websites, ads show up for places I have searched for on the internet. Eg, I was looking at comforters at Steve Maddens website. It spooked me to see those ads pop up when I was looking at political blogs, kind of creepy to think someone is watching what you are doing online. But it's probably marketing, I still don't like it, don't like people watching where I go online, without asking me.

But as you say, we are in part responsible for the way things are. And I too am hoping that we can change our priorities and that Occupy right now, is the only hope of doing that.
