"Edward T Hall III is the co-director of AcaWiki.org, collaborator with WindowFarms.org and dedicated poet of science. He conducts behavioral economic research at Columbia University’s Center for Research on Environmental Decisions where social scientists of all stripes collaborate to figure out “why our brain isn’t green.” He researches human “impatience” and collaborates extensively with researchers at the London School of Economics and Yale. But Edward is not limited to behavioral economics. He draws upon the fields of evolutionary neuroscience, cultural anthropology, emotion research, environmental economics, industrial ecology and social psychology. Before entering the research realm, Edward studied photography and the fine arts under the instruction of Stephen Shore, Tim Davis, Liz Deschenes, Lowry Burgess, and Golan Levin. He believes artists, citizen researchers, social networks, gamer designers, writers, theologians and DIYers must become help shape the poetry of science, to make it human."

I still don't think it was an act. I think little rich boy Edward T. Hall III really was freaking out and crying about "cars with mileage and sustainable stars like the flag" (no, really that's what he said. No idea what it means).
Crazy like a fox. Another mis-guided (brainwashed) rich kid. Like Bill Ayers, he'll do something felonious; his rich daddy will get him off; then he'll get a cushy professor position in some liberal university. There, he'll be made a hero.
This ratio that he speaks of that has risen from 30:1 to 350:1 in the past 3 decades.....what is the reality of what that 1 represented 30 years ago to what that 1 represents now?
If i was the guy in the suit i would of said.."look obviously you raise some points on some issues that need to be discussed here, There are some people who may take advantage of the system, but overall, the average wall street/corporate person is not on some scheme to screw over the poor, but by having this protest and creating such a radical image and making so much nonsense that has nothing to do with anything, will not in fact make any progress towards figuring out what in the world really needs to be done, the only thing your doing, is making things worse for everybody"
Honestly, I like Hunstman Sr's approach to wealth. When you don't know what to do with it, give it away to great charities.
What kills me, and I've heard others say it- is these people, if they would actually THINK, would realize their beef is with dear leader and all his commies, not business people on Wall street or any other street. Does corruption happen, heck yeah- Freddie and Fannie, but who exactly benefits from the corruption- those in Washington. Hey Jr. I'm glad you went and had a chat, but go round up yer posse and head on over to Pennsylvania Ave. After all, he's been the one preaching the past 4 or 5 years that America sucks.
When I saw the video yesterday and I thought it was just a big spoof. I thought it was quite obvious.
