Read This Before You Protest: An Open Letter to Occupy Portland from a Public Defender
"Dear Occupy Portland:
I don’t disagree with many of your goals and aims. I think that the banks and large corporations and mortgage fraudsters that made a killing off the crash need a few less bailouts and a few more criminal charges to thin out their ranks. But I am nothing if not a realistic and practical person. I want you to temper your idealism and righteous rage with a nice slap of reality. So if, in fact, you gather enough people and present your version of Tahrir on the Willamette, things are going to get bad. And I want to give you a heads up about some things you may not have been thinking about."

That's an interesting letter. Perhaps it will open some eyes, although by no means do I agree with it all. Wall Street didn't ruin the economy, Barney Frank and a bunch of other Democratics did. Everybody wants a free pony, these days....
lol
I was going to send the link for this to Max...
