unchanged, such as CEOs making hundreds of percentage points more income than workers, the rich benefiting vastly from bailouts and the subsequent "recovery" in enormous disproportion to citizens, no punishment or regulation for wall street or banksters...nothing has changed except police attacks upon peaceful, righteous 1st Amendment protest. Sorry you're fine with all of that. This is not just a life-time live in, it's a new way of life demanding justice and equality where there is none.

And if knowing Bloomberg is behind NYPD policies found UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and you're okay with it, there's certainly little more I wish to hear from you.

Sure, Occupy overstayed their welcome. Let's not protest corporate theft of trillions of taxpayer dollars and allow them to continue. That's quite a philosophy you've got there. :/

And I want Mike Bloomberg and others to finance 1 dollar more in 2014 to all ANTI-GUN candidates graham4anything Jan 2013 #1
