Bag’s Take-Away:
Somewhat surprising we haven’t seen this before: the Merrill bull as false idol. Skyscrapers notwithstanding, the scene feels almost biblical. Make way for the Golden Calf!(photo: Henny Ray Abrams/AP caption: A coalition of clergy carry a “False Idol” to the Occupy Wall Street encampment in Zuccotti Park, Sunday, Oct. 9, 2011 in New York. Having started in New York, Occupy Wall Streets demonstrations now take place all across the United States, as protesters speak out against corporate greed and the gap between the rich and the poor.)
