The number of men under arms in the US Military peaked in the 1940s when 10% of Americans were in the military. Now it's about 1%. The number of men and women in the military isn't growing, it's declining.Herschel Savage

I believe the article said that 47% of Congress makes more than $5 mil a year. Another article mentioned that Newt was paid $1.6 million AND $1.8 million for "consulting fees".
I guess it depends on how you define the "1%".Herschel Savage

The target needs to be DC. Greed will always exist in the banking sector; Their entire goal is to make money. We need to make laws that will prevent this from happening agian.
You said the "military apparatus that was built up over the last decade". It hasn't been "built up over the last decade". It isn't growing at all, and we have the smallest percentage of the population in the military in the past sixty years.Herschel Savage

You are certainly justified in throwing my own words back at me....... but an old woman is not a legitimate threat to public order under any circumstances. If an old woman is making a disruption then any police officer or human being in their right mind would offer gentle assistance. I would easily turn in my badge before I would pepper spray an old woman or a small child. Even in Latvia where police brutality is widespread this would be considered totally reprehensible behavior by a police officer. It is a disgrace.бабки, шлюхи, силаComment

I agree with the basic message of OWS. But they are going about it completely wrong.
Camping out in public parks and confrontations with the local police is counter productive. They have no leadership, no goals, and seem to be directing their anger at local city governments. This is pointless and doesn't accomplish anything short of costing our local cities millions in law enforcement costs.
They need to be protesting Congress directly, not Wall Street in NYC. Camping out just brings out the misfits and the bottom 10% of society. This is just making the movement look bad. Instead of "shutting down Wall Street" for a single day, what they need to do is shut down the Capital Building for a week. Camp out if you must, but not on a long term basis - that just attracts the bottom feeders and the homeless.Herschel Savage

But police didn't target an 84 year old woman - they targeted a group of protesters who were refusing direct orders from police. This also included a priest and a nineteen year old pregnant woman.
And it's not like police walked up to an 84 year old woman and pepper sprayed her. I'm guessing police gave multiple warnings telling people to leave, and most likely told them they would be pepper sprayed. They had the option of leaving, and failed to do so.Herschel Savage

Now isn't that a bit ageist of you? You know deep down this old whore is a smelly godless socialist hippy who probably ran sound checks at Woodstock, so how you can defend this anti-American behavior is beyond me.You are certainly justified in throwing my own words back at me....... but an old woman is not a legitimate threat to public order under any circumstances.

Yes I believe special consideration should be shown to an 80 year old woman even if she is smelly, godless, socialist, hippy engaging in anti-American behavior. I would give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was likely confused and suffering from dementia........ but what is your excuse?
