The public versus the people (A re-blog)

   AS I write this there are “popular” demonstrations going on in the Wall Street section of NYC.  There are similar actions in other cities.  The demonstrators are against “corporations,” and in favor of people (and/or “the people”). 
From what I can gather from the few news reports that I have seen---suspect because they are from the Mass Media---these people have no real “program.”  They are simply angry with, or jealous of, those who have done well, namely the rich.  Of course, they also may simply also be stupid and/or evil.
