        OWS earned its rightful place in the Psyche of our nation, AND the World, 
along with its rightful place in the History Books
with the long, continuing History of the Movement for Economic Justice,
in our country and The World,
which has had many names over the years.
It will rise again,
perhaps called OWS,
perhaps named something else,
but THAT spirit never dies.

        I support what you are doing but not how.  Too many issues that are symptoms, go after the root

        The government can restrict the 1st amendment if it can show a compelling governmental interest.

        You have to remember OWS is an emergent, a paradigm shift away from greed and selfishness.

        There's a lot of truthiness in your post, and I don't mean it in a derogatory way.

        That poster said 'they should start their own programs' then you attacked them for doing so.
