Tomorrow I am planning to attend one of several dozen protests that are happening all around the U.S. in response to the corporate greed and mismanagement that led us into this economic disaster we currently find ourselves in. The straw that broke the camels back and spurred these protest was the revelation last week that AIG, one of the largest recipients of federal bailout money, planned to, and already had, in some cases, pay millions of dollars in bonuses to their employees, many of these the very people whose money hunger and stupidity got us into this mess in the first place. Now, enough of the public feels like it is time for proverbial torches and pitchforks, hence the aforementioned widespread protests being planned.
To learn more about these protests and where the nearest one is to you, visit this site. The Huffington Post is calling on citizens who attend these events to write about it and take photos and then share. I am going to the protest at AIG in downtown Seattle. I shall scribe an account and photograph things, and then post both on this site and submit them to HuffPo.
Here is the location of the AIG office in Seattle.
