The Occupy Wall Street movement comes to St. Louis. They have been hanging out around Kiener Plaza with their signs and leaflets. Hundreds of people passed them by on their way to the Cardinals game, mostly ignoring them. (The Cards lost 3 - 2.)
I find this so refreshing. I am sick of Tea Party rant and ready to hear some good old-fashioned left wing rant instead. Candidly, our household's politics are left of center, although not extremely so. We are outraged by the growing stranglehold on our country by the very rich, whether individuals or corporations. We are appalled by Republicans who characterized moderate tax increases on the wealthy as class warfare. Holy bleep, who's been screwing whom?
This blog advertises its own occasional rant and, there, you got one. You can check these folks out online at http://www.occupystl.org/. I think I'm going to go visit them tomorrow during the day.

There are still more pix from the Highland Games. Maybe we'll get back to them.
