Regulation and the OWS Movement

Bill Anderson reports:
One of the most ironic things I have witnessed in the month of OWS protests is that the protesters constantly are cited or restricted by authorities as they run afoul of regulation after regulation. From confiscating heaters in NYC (fire hazard) to shutting down impromptu outdoor kitchens (food "safety"), the protesters are stymied by rules, rules, and more rules.

Yet, to listen to them, what is their "solution" for making our society better? Yep, you guessed it, even more rules. Furthermore, I doubt that many of them even could intellectually understand the irony of their situation.
Heh.
