If one person has an opinion, likely many will hold the same opinion. At least one person here seems to be concerned about the 'high' cost of the OWC to tax payers.

Just to put it in perspective, let's look at a comparison of costs here.

How much do you think the unethical actions that led to this recession have cost citizens and tax payers, just in this country?

Well, what if we rounded up all the millions of people who have lost their homes and defaulted on personal loans and credit card debt and put them in jail? Well not the children of course, we could put them in the social system (foster care, adoption, juvinal centers.

Since these people have little means and since they are all entitled to legal representation, I'm sure there would be many millions of law suits.

How much do you suppose that would cost current tax payers (& future ones)? You know, those who still have jobs and are working?

How does that compare to the expence of the unethical behaviors that have caused this national and world crisis?

And the big question concerserns counting the number of people who HAVE been imprisioned for unethical behaviors leading to this crisis, versus the millions who would be jailed due to that unethical behavior?

That's just a very small example. There are wars to consider, there are corporate interests for whom exemptions have been made at the highest levels, without notice and despite voiceful concerns of the public, like environmental issues, and union issues.

The issues that exist that separate that which the constitution was created to unite, are too numerous to list in a short post.

Now what is it that you think the protesters are doing wrong? What exactly, please list specific incidents, the law involved, and how you think punishment should be carried out in the most cost effective mannor. Then let us know if you think that is freedom worth the overall restrictions that would be required to enforce them.
