I don't want to be a wet blanket here - but I'm puzzled by what we expect to accomplish by the OWS and the worldwide protests going on against the greedy rich.

What do we expect the banksters, financiers and politicians - or essentially the top 1% to do to quell the protests? Are these 'greedy rich' sitting somewhere together thinking - what will satisfy the protesters? What will make this protest that is spreading worldwide - go away?

These banksters, financiers and politicians - according to a Reuters article - "are accused of ruining global economies and condemning millions to poverty and hardship through greed."

What kind of concessions will be satisfactory to bring peace or placate these protests and protesters?

I'm not trying to be a smart aleck here but I get concerned when I see the police being brought out in force to stand down the protests. As far as I can see these protests have been pretty well mannered and peaceful. I'm worried that the show of force by the powers that be will agitate unrest that could lead to violence and give the powers that be a reason to shut down the protests.

I see 'shutting down these protests' the main option the greedy rich have in order to avoid making concessions of any kind. After all they are the "GREEDY RICH". They got that way by stepping on us 'people' and didn't care how they did it. I can't see them changing now because of some 'uncomfortable and irritating protests'. The other option the 'GREEDY RICH' have is to just let the protests go on and do nothing and hope that the people will give up and go home. Basically a "Wait Them Out" strategy.

I'm really concerned and am growing more concerned as these protesters 'dig in' and I'm looking for some serious dialogue here as to what will satisfy or appease the protesters?

The other way of looking at this is "These protesters will stop when (this ?)happens. What is (this)?
