I don't understand you. According to wikipedia, encapsulation is:

"A language mechanism for restricting access to some of the 
object's components."

Member variable is a component of an object. Public access means 
un-restricted access. Therefore, public member variable is not 
encapsulated. Therefore, public member variable is a problem in 
encapsulation, by definition. I dare you to find a single 
religious cell in me.
