For the sake of humankind.

I'm in Sardinia. But if I were to return to the U.S., I'd head to Wall Street. To join the sit-in protest against Wall Street bankers. And I'd encourage the protest to spread. Like wild fire. Or a contagion. All over the U.S. Into big cities. Into small towns. Into the countryside. Even all the way to Sardinia, my adopted land. Yes, across the entire world. Wall Street bankers. They are the enemy. Corrupters of the capitalist system. Ruled by greed. Creators of economic havoc. Not only in the U.S. But worldwide. They have manipulated the economic system. To their personal benefit. And contrary to the common good. They make the rich become richer. And the poor become poorer. Their goal is to steal from the poor and the middle class and concentrate the wealth in the hands of rich elite. To fatten the pocketbooks of millionaires and billionaires. To set no limit on wealth. To allow for future trillionaires. A world ruled by the rich elite. And it ain't gonna stop until there's a revolution. An uprising of the underclasses. The long-time exploited. Yes, it's class warfare that we need. The rich have waged war against the lower classes almost from the beginning of capitalism. And duped so many of us into thinking it wasn't war. But it was and is. And let's recognize that the rich started the war. And if it's war that the Wall Street bankers and the rich want -- well, that's what they'll get. We middle class and poor can easily outnumber the rich. Maybe we can't outspend 'em. But we have the vast and overwhelming number of people. We can occupy Wall Street and every nook and cranny of the world. Until we get our way. We can take charge. Take control. And finally see to it that government and economic systems are designed to serve the common good. And not the good of Wall Street bankers and the filthy and obscenely monetarily rich. Let us finally be rich in spirit. For the sake of humankind. --Jim Broede
