99% Houston Demonstration

Occupy Wall Street protesters were out in a force of about 100, maybe 120 people on Allen Parkway for the Friday commute.  There were five mounted police on horseback side to side to the East presumable blocking the protesters from going downtown.  It looked like a lot of Moms and some kids as well as a younger crowd.  What I didn't understand was if the protesters were marching down Allen Parkway or had specifically picked that spot.  The irony of it all is that 200 yards West is the Houston Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank.

Houston Brand of the Fed,

There were no police blocking the protesters to the West and indeed no police in front of the building during the protest.   It's not entirely clear what their message is aside from we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore. This over-sized, imposing, in your face building is the perfect metaphor.  You aren't allowed in, this place cost a fortune of your money to build so what! Protest this!

US Dollar Democracy

This from Doug Casey should not be missed.  Those with the most votes (dollars) make the rules.

Democracy is just mob rule, dressed up in a coat and tie. It is too bad people confuse democracy, which is mob rule, with liberty and freedom. Democracy in most of the world is everybody voting for the person that promises him or her the most stolen goods from other people. Democracy is a political system, and all political systems rest on institutionalized coercion. Whether it is a king, a president, a congress, or a mob of chimpanzees, they dictate having to pay 50% of my income over to them so they can fund wars, welfare programs, the police state, oligarchic corporations, or whatever. That is what democracy is today. Regrettably, the average person has been programmed to think democracy is a high moral good, much as his ancestors were programmed to believe that monarchy was the way. The only kind of democracy that can be supported is the democracy of the free market. Vote with the dollars. Anything that wanted or needed can be gained by production and trade. The democracy we currently know is a fraud and a delusion."
