		<description><![CDATA[The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) protesters have been widely critiqued, and, in my opinion, they deserve most of it. (Here are a couple of the more amusing critiques from David Harsanyi and Barton Hinkle). While elements of the critiques border on being unfair, the  critics have rightly pointed out that many of the protesters don’t [...]]]></description>

He is one of the six people who have read Run (www.runthenovel.com), the book in which I make a strong case for term limits through Noa Kalakaua, a fictional independent presidential candidate who pushes for congressional term limits.
