This thread has had its share of grumpy old men and devil's advocates, but to have someone genuinely opposed to it does cause me to want to see it through your eyes.
Can be grumpy, old, and opposed to OWS and its ilk.
Probably as inconceivable as reading primary source material to some people though.

Just a couple bros talking about things that matter (other than fuzz, which obviously matters most!)
To be honest, my views are difficult for me to explain clearly without actually speaking. I find things like this tough to convey in type. Half the time, the person you're talking to misunderstands what you're trying to say, or you poorly explain what you mean. Then you end up arguing semantics, or points that have little to do with the subject at hand.
If you want to Skype or something, I'd be down with that.

Is it one of those things that is better expressed through love making? If so, I'm down.
no homo
just kidding
but seriously
No dude, I can totally understand and respect that. I'm sure it's better left for those conversations over a pint of beer... or three. There are definitely issues I would never feel comfortable talking about over the interwebz.... some things only work face to face.

2:10 a.m. Press barred from entering Liberty Square
and
2:44 a.m. NYPD destroys OWS Library. 5,000 donated books in dumpster.
doesn't sound civilized police forces to me, but it seldom does nowadays when clearing protesters.

There's a lot of information that can be gleaned from it.
I'm still waiting for legislation proposals myself. Maybe once the urban camping is over we can actually get some shit started.
