Wall Street Protest Sept 17th

I stumbled upon something interesting, #OccupyWallStreet is starting to trend on twitter.  It's an effort to organize a mass protest against the massive wealth gap in America and voice people's displeasure with Wall Street greed.  It's going to be interesting to see how the Government, Banks, and Walls Street react to these protests.

There are also hints that the "anonymous" may hack banking systems.

I took the Civic Literacy Exam provided by The Intercollegiate Studies Institute and found out that some of the questions are ridiculously hard.  Some of these questions seemed to lean a little to the right (I wonder who came up with this exam).
