Thanks, Nap. Glad everyone else seemed to understand.
As for disruption of the port... that is actually a common tactic tho I've only ever seen it from animal rights groups fighting against tuna and dolphin stuff.

Disrupting the ports hits themwhere it hurts the most: their profits. You can occupy a park for a decade without anything happening but if you hit their money, you will force a reaction.

To my understanding, the idea seems to be that disrupting port activities will cost Wall St. tons of money. Goldman Sachs supposedly holds a major share in one of the larger port companies, and thus would be affected the most. I don't have any idea how this is supposed to be effective, but there it is. It's really all the can do, seeing as there's nothing physical to disrupt directly when it comes to finance. The only thing that can be done is to go after whatever they've invested in. They could always go after the coffee supply. If Occupy Wall Street were to block all coffee deliveries to the Wall Street financial district, the executives would probably surrender within HOURS.

Don't forget to blockade their filet Mignon shipments. Force those pussies to eat real meat for once.

Or alternatively send Pvt Baldrick in. I'm told his filet mignons in sauce bearnase taste like turds in glue.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if someone got arrested who was just taking a leek in a bathroom of a building adjacent to one of the OWS protests.
I keep sayin, we need the US Army in there to keep the police in line. Nothin says "don't be a fuckoff" better than a detachment of folks who have you out-armored, outgunned, out-trained, and who have access to fuck-mothering tanks.

Actually, there's an old Japanese folk remedy that says a suppository of leeks is supposed to cure... whatever ails you? (I forget the specifics, if there were any.)
