Don't worry, I have thick skin. Thanks in part to CP.

Could you please explain how the occupy movement has tangibly affected yours or your husbands day-to-day life in a negative way?

It doesn't. Does that preclude us from speaking out?

Furthermore, I feel you failed to deliver a reasonable alternative to just letting it play out and ignoring the 'protesters'. Along with a few others in this thread, I am of the belief that simply packing up their tents and taking away their belongings is not a fair solution. If this is indeed an issue that you two feel strongly about, and this is not just a convenient matter to oppose Nenshi's views on, that should not be too difficult.

I haven't claimed to have all the solutions or even the right ones.
I'm of the opinion this should never have been allowed to occur in first place.
Nenshi showed weakness (IMO) and they have taken advantage of that.
I think one of the things that needs to be communicated to them (and I've tried); is that they can still protest from 6 AM to 11 PM
EVERY DAY.
