Temperature check.

I've started to actually notice the influence of Occupy Wall Street on bank practices, the press, even advertising. A glimmer of hope? Is it all too little to late? I'm getting the feeling that Facebook (under the veil of connecting us with others) has successfully marginalized our social interactions while stockpiling all our online behaviors and secretly selling it off to advertisers. Anyone else concerned? Can anyone really afford to care about independent music or art scenes anymore? Or perhaps we should just call this a weeding out process.
