I couldn't agree more - there seems to be a big fight brewing over foreclosures 
that could pose very sharply questions of human rights/workers' rights vs. 
capitalist property rights - here's a couple of things that caught my attention

different parts of the country, especially if there have been instances of more 
direct action than in the incipient conflicts described here:
