I think we basically agree on the protests, but vary according to degree.


We disagree over your contention that by complaining about your government you give up your right to receive benefits from it, which I think if you really think about it, you'd change your mind.

I truly believe that the protestors have the right to protest. Hutzpah is not illegal. It is an attitude. The protestors are exhibiting hutzpah, but not acting illegally by wanting to protest and getting the college debt the students personally contracted washed away.

I do NOT think they should be disallowed to petition the government.

Common ground attempt:
Would you consider any illegal felony activities to be reason to deny their request for debt absolution or reduction? That way a "protestor" would be allowed, but a "criminal" would not. Can you consider common ground?
