YaleNews | Yale professors discuss ways to boost nation's economy
In a panel on Oct. 13, five Yale economists — (from left) President Richard Levin, William Nordhaus, Robert Shiller, Judith Chevalier, Aleh Tsyvinski, and John Geanakoplos — debated whether short-term jobs-creation programs would put the United States on a course of sustainable economic growth.

New Haven's Occupation now underway | Yale Daily News
New Haven's Occupation now underway | Yale Daily News
"Oestreich, who said she will drop out of St. John’s University to work full time with the Occupy movement, has traveled the East Coast to help the different manifestations of the Occupy protests share ideas and information, and does not believe the movement’s lack of a singular message hurts the protests.
“We don’t want well-defined demands because that would [exclude] people,” Oestreich said, adding that the goal of the Occupy protests is to spark discussion first, and effect change later. She said that one of the few demands the group agreed on was taking corporations out of politics.
Saturday was “Global Occupation Day,” she said, with cities across the world holding similar protests. As for the future of New Haven’s protests, Oestreich said she is extremely optimistic given the large number that came out for Saturday’s march.
By Sunday night, there were around 30 tents on the New Haven Green. Protesters said the occupation has no plan to end." Full Article Here| Yale Daily News

So tell me folks, what are you protesting for, or getting ready to protest for ?
"Who's Word? Our Word."
First of all thank you Quiet Minortiy …. For this creative and unique opportunity to express myself in this venue… I love the virtural venue space of the comments column.
Let me first address “…word is we don’t even know what we are protesting for.”
Even as I retype that statement… I can feel myself open to the importance of not knowing. I feel the discomfort of a system demanding answers and clear solutions to sustain itself. I continue to witness and participate in that protest|demand paradigm in the Wisconsin Uprising. I am interested in participating in how Occupy Wall st is different. I recognize OWS' struggle to OPEN up and explore the issues and to consider the very essence of profoundly serious problems. I recognize this process as a courageous dismantling of a destructive and dysfunctional system. There is no way for ME to KNOW…. exactly what needs to happen and in exactly what order. I will have to enter into the process of exploration and discovery. I will have to commit to learning more and doing my research.
.
So I can understand that the claim that I do not know what I am protesting for could be seen as accurate in that it is based on an old paradigm which values KNOWING. Struggling to understand that, "not knowing" has a value will take significant time. This movement is aligning itself with a different way of knowing and understanding. The paths will need to be built and the development of new processes to achieve the deep transformations necessary to change our global trajectory. I trust and respect the work that all of you are doing. I am paying attention and contributing in a personally meaningful way. I am committed to the idea that everyone needs to be informed and if accurate information is available.. we the people will be able to make decisions that will lead us in new positive and sustainable directions…but we MUST KNOW and SHARE THE TRUTH. I look forward to working with all of you in dismantling our current world and rebuilding a better ONE for ALL.
P.S. I will have to consider the the second concern about boredom later...

" I caught up with two more TWU 100 members at OWS, Donald Yates and Earl Philips, who spoke on the link between the labor and civil rights struggles of the 1930s, '40s and '50s. "These youngsters," Earl said, "are our members; kids; their future is jeopardized." Earl says his grandparents fought in the labor struggles then and that today, people are waking up to the fact that "we need to start fighting again."

The protest has mutated from an Adbusters culture-jamming tent-city to a brand monetized by a Wall Street-traded corporation."
