Last night's raid of Occupy Wall Street was a disgrace. Altogether lacking in grace. Claiming it was a health hazard is a ruse that's been in use since the eviction of Martin Luther King's version of Occupy -- "Resurrection City," back in 1968.

To be said with an incredulous New Yorker's accent: "And your tear gas isn't a health hazard?"
