3. You are correct that government and non-Occupy volunteers also deserve credit...

You asked "Why would a stock exchange be involved in rescue efforts? " Well, why did UPS get involved in rescue efforts? Because it's their Country that was harmed and they care about our People. So why can't Wall Street help out?

As for "shouting OWS", I'm not into worship. However, I found it noteworthy that a bunch of scorned activists are helping people while the wealthiest citizens are not sharing any burden.

But thanks for weighing in.
