How much money did the Tea Party Protests cost tax payers, compared to OWS protests?

If my Countrymen should ever wish for the Honour of having among them a Gentry enormously wealthy, let them sell their Farms and pay rack'd Rents; the Scale of the Landlords will rise as that of the Tenants is depress'd who will soon become poor, tattered, dirty, and abject in Spirit. Had I never been in the American Colonies, but was to form my Judgment of Civil Society by what I have lately seen in Ireland and Scotland, I should never advise a Nation of Savages to admit of Civilisation: For I assure you, that in the Possession and Enjoyment of the various Comforts of Life, compar'd to these People every Indian is a Gentleman: And the Effect of this kind of Civil Society seems only to be, the depressing Multitudes below the Savage State that a few may be rais'd above it" -- Benjamin Franklin; letter to Joshua Babcock (Jan. 13. 1772) "Too many of these stock-jobbers and king-jobbers have come into our legislature, or rather too many of our legislature have become stock-jobbers and king-jobbers." -- Jefferson; letter to Marquis de Lafayette, (16 Jun 1792) "Of all occupations those are the least desirable in a free state which produce the most servile dependence of one class of citizens on another class. This dependence must increase as the mutuality of wants is diminished.

Where the wants on one side are the absolute necessaries and on the other are neither absolute necessaries, nor result from the habitual economy of life, but are the mere caprices of fancy" -- James Madison; "Fashion" National Gazette (March, 20, 1792) "But besides the danger of a direct mixture of Religion & civil Government, there is an evil which ought to be guarded agst in the indefinite accumulation of property from the capacity of holding it in perpetuity by ecclesiastical corporations. The power of all corporations, ought to be limited in this respect. The growing wealth acquired by them never fails to be a source of abuses." --James Madison; from 'Detached Memoranda' "wealth is no proof of moral character; nor poverty of the want of it.

On the contrary, wealth is often the presumptive evidence of dishonesty; and poverty the negative evidence of innocence.

Y best try without much understanding. OWS is disorganized and dangerous. The government to always be challenged but The Tea Party was at least protected.

The real issue is about progressive religion and its viability. It is hypocritical to begin with. Christianity is faith and tradition, not pursuit of truth by relying on historical accounts which are ambiguous at best.

Basically progressive Christianity is the Kum Bay Ya version of the church. Sugar coated crap. Pwoplw are not searching for meaning at church.

Its just ridiculous. Talk about getting a life! Get one!

People in religion are corrupt and insidious. Especially those in Progressive Christianity. A bunch of people with PHDs calling themselves doctors!

You are not doctors for God's sake! Doctors are public servants who felt a calling to help others using medicine and knowledge. PHD doctors in Prog.

Christianity are more like social / political terrorists. What a joke!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
