Occupy Wall Street and Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience"

What would Thoreau think of the "Occupy Wall Street" movement?

We will explore that hypothetical possibility on our discussions later today.  For now, you will take some time to familiarize yourself with this month-old movement that continues to gain more participants, attention, and analysis.  Browse through some of these sites first, then search for recent stories.  Take notes in your journal to help you to participate in the discussion next period.
