To the editor:

The protesters on Wall Street are being criticized for sending a fuzzy, mixed message.

Here’s my answer to that criticism: There is a disease at the root of democracy and that disease is the corrupting influence of corporations. The wide range of signs you see are the leaves on that tree.

One disease, many symptoms.
