My mistake. When I posted, I did not realize what NAMBLA stood for...I got it mixed up with something else...again, my mistake. You're right, the two things described in your post are two entirely different things...I shouldn't have posted w/o full comprehension
As a card-carrying member of the ACLU, I find that offensive. I also respect your right to say it. I believe it was Voltaire who said "I hate what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it"
What's wrong with NAMBLA? Just because people are gay doesn't mean they give up their rights to be treated like a human being...
The ACLU seeks to guarentee civil rights for *everyone*...even if they don't like what they stand for (the KKK, for example)
I also notice you left out many other things the ACLU has done, such as fighting the death penalty and racism.
The ACLU represents ME, and I'm glad they do...
I think we really need this. After all, if corporate America didn't protect us from ourselves, what would happen? I'm so glad that there are big, unregulated monopolies out there that are willing to take my rights away, and worry abou them, so I don't have to! What would we do without them? Don't forget to call your Congressman and tell him how great an idea this is!...before you flame...it's sarcasm, this idea sucks
nuclear warheads are armed by acclecromators(sp?)...hence, the warheads _can't_ be armed until the missle reaches its full, programmed speed. If you blow the missle up, you get radioactive material scattered around, which is messy, but a whole lot better than a nuclear explosion
