I'll relay an anecdote Bhaskar told me. He took a train up to New York last week and said that literally the first thing he overheard on disembarking in Penn Station was a conversation between two construction workers and a janitor. "Hey, did you hear about the college kids protesting the rich down on Wall St.?" This was said in a favorable tone.
