@profwaldo I agree absolutely about term limits and the 20 bucks! Great idea. Thank you for the conversation, Wally. I always enjoy corresponding with you.

Peace to you, my friend.

@RonIrelandmusic Don't get me wrong, I agree that many things need to change and it's always good to see and hear people speak out. I just don't agree with the tactics being used and I think the anger should be directed at the White House and Congress(both parties) I'm for term limits on most all elected officials. I absolutely love the idea of logos on their suits ! hahaha Seriously, candidates should all get the same amount of money to run on, lets say 20 bucks. Have a great week Ron ! Peace.

@profwaldo I think we simply disagree on this one, Wally. As for corporate donations: I like the idea of making ALL of our elected officials wear NASCAR suits with the logos of the banks and hedge funds and other corporations that gave them money to get elected.

Peace to you, my friend.

@RonIrelandmusic There is proof people are being paid. Violence, vandalism, intimidation, disturbing the peace, occupation and disruption of other's everyday lives is right out of extreme far-left and union playbooks. There will be more violence, they guarantee it. It's ironic that Obama backs the protests yet continues to take donations from Wall Street corporations he bailed out and demonizes. But he needs a distraction and a scapegoat. Not to mention he loves a good class-warfare fight. Peace

@profwaldo We disagree on the paid agitators issue. I've heard the hate radio guys say it, but I haven't seen proof. You are 100% correct: everyone needs to calm down and practice plain old good manners. Don't throw things at the police, and police need to take a deep breath and use non-lethal weapons the way they are supposed to (there are specific ways, and shooting at people's heads is not one of them).

Thanks for coming by to listen, Wally!
