    i think that wall street is bringing attention to the middle class and the media doesnt like it

    The occupy wall street protest is bringing more attention to the middle class, and it's shocking the media. The illustrator is trying to show how it's all tied together in one way or another.

    I think that with all the "action" going on between wall street and the middle class, the media is shocked and is in disbelief.
  • Brice Johnson on 16 Dec 11
     
    The Occupy movement is like the middle-class' prince charming, exactly what we want. The 1% on the other hand is trying to poison the middle class with lies and deception from the media which is made up of the 1%.

    The Occupy Wall Street movement is trying to revive the middle class in order increase their supporters to the full 99% it once was, but the 1% aka the media is like the wicked witch in Snow White that gave her the poisoned apple so she would be out of the way...and the media is upset that attention is being drawn back to them
  • Carrie Fuest on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it's that occupy wall street has now involved the middle class and the media is appalled by it.
  • Daniel Pengra on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means that occupy wall street is trying to save the middle class and the media doesnt want to have it back.
  • Kristin Molgaard on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means how the occupy wall street movement is bringing attention to the middle classes economic struggles, and the media doesn't want that to happen.
  • Megan Rief on 16 Dec 11
     
    I believe the cartoon is portraying that there is a connection between the Middle class and the wall street movement, and wall street is trying to revive the middle class. The media however, is not thrilled about the attention being brought to the middle class problems. So the media poisons the the other one percent into believing the lies and misleading comments to try getting their way.

    the occupy wall street seems to be waking up the middle class
  • Connor Gann on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think it means that the middle class is starting to progressively get stronger and the media doesn't like it.
  • Dakota Smith on 16 Dec 11
     
    I think this pretty much means that the media doesn't want any attention brought to them and wall street is doing just that by waking up the middle class

    the media is the evil and it is trying to end the movement with a bad apple "press".

    OK so it is not being proposed in the USA, but this bill recently introduced in Canada is pretty interesting. Think about the people in our country who protest, but don't want their identity to be shown. Would you support this bill or not?

  • Megan Funkhauser on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think its a good law, people should be able to know who you are. If you really wanna protest, you shouldn't care.
  • Anna Gahm on 16 Feb 12
     
    I believe that if you truly believe in the cause, then you should have to face the consequences, even if that means losing your job or your reputation and status.
  • Brice Johnson on 16 Feb 12
     
    This bill makes sense. Public safety is at the forefront of this bill, if a protest gets violent or other harmful/unlawful acts occur the persons the are held responsible will be able to be identified. But looking at it from the other side, people might want to conceal their identity at protests, or the masks are part of their protest(example Anonymous). If this bill passes people will be made, if it doesn't pass other people will be mad. Who is the Canadian government ok will making mad?
  • Carrie Fuest on 16 Feb 12
     
    This bill should be passed because if you're risking yourself by already being there, you should have to show your face. Also, if the situation ever turned violent, that person wouldn't get away with it because their face wasn't exposed so they could be identified.
  • Lauren Rommel on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think that this bill should be passed because the police should have the right to identify anyone who is protesting. If you want to protest, protecting your identity shouldn't be a major concern because you would want people to know who you are, and what you are speaking out against.
  • Megan Cheney on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think if you are going to protest, you are there for a reason, that you strongly believe in, so you should not want to hide who you really are
  • Henry Black on 16 Feb 12
     
    It should be considered that this is a trade for security by means of liberty. Sacrificing freedom for a small degree of protection. If this bill passes, it could easily snowball to other things (this may be a bit of a reach) such as controlling what you can wear altogether just so that you can be identified at all times just in case you might be possibly considering intending to commit a crime.
  • Derek Large on 16 Feb 12
     
    As said in earlier comments, I think that if you want to protest IN PUBLIC then the public has the right to know who you are. If you want you can protest in your house and no one needs to know who you are. But out side of you cant hide from the public if your are going to stand outside with a big sign and yell out things in front of people.
  • Connor Gann on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think this should be a bill that becomes a law.
  • melloney keller on 16 Feb 12
     
    I see it as your there or your protesting for a reason so why hide it. If your protesting you believe something is ether wrong or right so why hide your believes. If you don't want to be seen or noticed here's an easy answer don't go!
  • Dustin Gibson on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think that you should be able to wear a mask, because if you're protesting something that you believe in, or don't believe in, than it is a personal matter and you should be able to conceal your identity from the public.
  • awest520 on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think it might be better if you have to register to be part of a protest but to have the list sealed unless things get violent
  • Jordan Smith on 16 Feb 12
     
    I think that they should show there faces. Its there choice to go, so then show yourself, dont hide.
