2. Whoever said the revolution won't be televised...

...didn't count on technology that didn't exist when that was said.

These days, everything is televised.

3. Gil Scott-Heron was the one who coined the term.....

...and he wasn't wrong.

- This isn't the revolution but it may be the beginning of it.

4. I wonder if the reporters coverage of only a couple hundred protestors showing up

for the protest congress is correct?

5. The Spanish get it and have for a long time.

They had sit-ins in Madrid which in turn inspired Occupy Wall Street. They have been told by their grandparents how they suffered under Franco and are taking a firm stand against it. Note the flag of the Spanish Republic.
