Jon's Java Joint

I had a chance to go to Zuccotti Park before the big NYPD raid, and talk to some of the protestors, take in the feeling of the place, and do some marching myself. The growing economic disparity is only a symptom of the real problem, which is the fact that the political balance is tilted towards the banks and corporations. It's time to shake things up in this country, take the political power away from the banks and give it back to the people, and create the kind of democracy men like Jefferson dreamed of.

A crowd marching down Wall Street, the canyon of power.

I found this nice scene on my way back to the ferry.

The new 1 World Trade Center tower. A magnificent building, it made me proud to view it.
