It's a shame to see programs being cut for those most in need while the bankers continue to profit. That is an issue that will continue to arouse anger.

Regarding the issue of the law re protesting, I will read more about that as I am not familiar with the details.

I know there was a recent decision in favor of anti-war protesters from 2003. I'm sure that will now open the door for more lawsuits, especially in NYC, and I hope there are, and in Oakland where something needs to be done about the brutality reigned down on unarmed, peaceful protesters.
