This afternoon I headed down to Lower Manhattan. After my noontime appointment to see the
9/11 Memorial (very well done; the scale of it is what got me -- it's easy to forget how mammoth those buildings were) I headed over to neighboring Zuccotti Park to check out what was going on.
I'd printed up fifty copies of my manifesto, which I'd titled "Twenty & One" -- my idea for what the super-rich of this country ought to be doing with some (but not all) of their hoard, in the spirit of Carnegie, Rockefeller, Buffett and Gates. If we're going to see real change in this world, we need for more than two people alive today to spearhead it. Here's my manifesto on the page and at some protestor's table; for the most part, people liked the idea (I even tried handing it to a CNN reporter, but no dice there). If you like this notion, spread the word around... and maybe we'll see things start to change:
