What's the main thing behind all of this "occupy" stuff?

Clearly, the constitution does not apply for those who show flagrant disregard for zoning laws! Someone might be mildly inconvenienced! WORSE, it may affect property values! Oh Horror!

There are time and place limitations to speech. That's true.

Free speech is noisy. Free speech inconveniences people. If "free" speech isn't permitted unless it is at a place or time where it can be easily ignored, then speech isn't free at all.

Edit: Not disagreeing, per se, but limits on speech should be very, very, narrowly tailored with the intent of prevention of actual harm to life and property. It's illegal to shout "FIRE" in a crowded theater, unless of course, the theater is actually on fire (crowded or not).

Secret records of US bank bailout released




















...and the amount of this secret bailout, which not even congress was allowed to know:
























$7.77 trillion, or [highlight]$16 trillion[/highlight], if you include the short-term "revolver" -type loans, which netted the banks a cool $13 billion in profit.​
