I can completely understand the bank manager not wanting them to be protesting inside the bank. I haven't seen anything from the movement encouraging people to move their bank accounts and showing clear alternatives. I'm sure the people in this video love that this happened and the entire occupy movement thinks it's cool, but I fail to see this making any real impact on the banks. Getting people to move away em masse as a protect - they will notice that. Look what happened to Netflix when they made a bad decision about pricing - they lost a million customers. Make that happen with the banks. It could happen. No-one is even trying though. -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:343487 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
