I'm sure they are making a lot of people aware of these issues, but none the less they are issues that have been around for decades. <br /><br />Chris & I will never forget our trip to NYC and our walk to the World Trade Center area. The visuals that the little church gave us were overwhelming. God was truly watching over Vinny that day and we are so glad He was! You and Vinny are such a fabulous couple!! <br /><br />Many blessings & hugs to you both! <br />SherryEdie Marie's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497518764917499463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-50828966063759753612011-10-05T03:27:56.096-04:002011-10-05T03:27:56.096-04:00I have seen scences from this protest on TV, they ...I have seen scences from this protest on TV, they commented it is against bakers-this wave of protest is now all around the world.<br />I love that park!Olahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06974463440732558398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-81727690265627873292011-10-05T02:53:40.582-04:002011-10-05T02:53:40.582-04:00There are protests of any kind all over the world....There are protests of any kind all over the world.

It's taken much too long.. <br /><br />I have a different take on the protesters.. I say that they need to get out and get a job and work hard to gather some wealth themselves. Young people today don't want to work. They 'seem' to want the govt. and the wealthy to take care of them. I think that's kinda sad....<br /><br />We are not wealthy--but we have worked hard for our money. Why should we give it to pay for those young people who don't want to work hard??????<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-23690942368133388512011-10-04T20:27:54.136-04:002011-10-04T20:27:54.136-04:00thank you for sharing this...thank you for sharing this...a quiet lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764214603632867021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-65028623077374562642011-10-04T20:20:04.077-04:002011-10-04T20:20:04.077-04:00On my one and only trip to New York, visiting the ...On my one and only trip to New York, visiting the Twin Towers was on the agenda.
