Re: "Letter of the week," Nov. 4.

I must disagree with Rick Angus that the Occupy Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­demonstration is akin to protesting against the rain. Anyone doing that would be considered an idiot or a simpleton, whereas these protesters target a wide scope of legitimate issues from economic to social to environmental. The fact that the movement may lack focus or specific demands actually points to a deep malaise and discontent, something I've never witnessed before. Rather than pooh-pooh these chaotic protests, we'd be wise to heed them as a warning of dire times to come.
