it's funny the amount of times that i hear people say oh, i'd give some of my rights away to be safer. the last thing you'd be is safer. what's that little anecdote about not saying anything when others were taken...then when i was taken, there was no one to speak up.
three cheers for the aclu. they speak for those few that no one else will! the minority whose rights would be trampled by those who believe that 'majority rules'. NO, IT DOES NOT!
speaking of which....
a city manager in florida, the city escapes me, has gone public with his decision to have a sex change operation. so guess who was put on leave? why? they hired the best person right? not the best man--so why can't he do his job if he's the best woman for it????

In the end, we have only those rights which we can defend, only those rights! There is no such thing as giving up "some" rights for safety or any other reason! Without the Constitution, our own government will become a terrorist organization!
