There were some people suggesting that the Occupy movement or “the 99%” should be the Person of the Year—I suppose this is pretty close ;) To those who say the TIME Person of the Year should be an actual person, I think what's happening is that sometimes there's a single person that does extraordinary things in a given year. But sometimes, people, in numbers, anonymous, make changes so much more radical than those a single person can, that it's almost foolish to try and pick a single person for the year, because any given individual's contribution to the year's changes is so very minuscule compared to the crowds that gathered from Σύνταγμα square to Tahrir square to Zucotti Park—some more effective than others, but all changing the way things around them were being discussed, and all fueling each other.
