This was an inspirational set of interviews (where's all those dirty hippies we keep hearing about?).

We can't know where this will go or how it will turn out, but this is what we've all been waiting for. It's actually happening. Right now. People are hitting the streets -- real people, working people, well-spoken professionals - not just patchouli-scented college kids with time to kill.

Ben Bernanke will be at the Federal Reserve's offices across from the camp Tuesday.
