"Whoreface"?? Whore, what have you turned into? A Yük?! Please don't scare me like that. It's not good for my heart. Anyways, I'll show up at your house randomly one day =) How I will get there is another issue.
Shelley, please don't forget that the ACLU was the organization that brought the Scopes monkey trial through. Without the ACLU, the evolution/creationism thing might be a lot different today. (Of course, I'm assuming that you share my views on evolution because you gave me a Darwin fish...) I also happen to share a lot of views with the ACLU. For instance, on the issues of abortion, religion in schools, gay rights, and privacy in technology, I have essentially the same stances as the ACLU. I don't like thinking of myself as a crazy, self-righteous Nazi, but I guess if it comes down to that, then I am one.
And My Prerogative is awful. The video is just another stripping party, and like Toxic, it's only good on mute. Well, not really good, but it happens to be better on mute than with the sound on. Actually, scratch everything I said about the video. The song is better on mute than with the sound on.
I love filling out the data sheets for really boring books. The Awakening is the most paradoxical title ever assigned to a book. The author employs effective use of diction, syntax, and other elements of style to create an instant loss of consciousness in the reader. Sleeping pill companies should sue.

Remember that passage in the book? The one that talks about skipping to the end and instead of "wading through the middle?" Yeah.

Obviously, the ACLU has done a lot of good. That's something we can both agree on.
But the main reason (among some other ones) that I dislike them is because they seemed to have twisted the manta of "Freedom of Religion" into "Freedom FROM Religion". And THAT, my friends, is constitution-hating.
As an atheist or agnostic (depending on your definition of those terms), I believe that I have the freedom to believe whatever I want, and I believe that others deserve that freedom too, EVEN if they disagree with me on other points. I'm not gonna deny the right to others just because I disagree with them.
But I’m in danger of generalizing here. The ACLU is NOT against religion in general, just mainly against main-stream religion, i.e., Christianity. And we all know that anything that is mainstream is automatically "oppressive and intolerant". As a freshman in Walton, I was originally in Civil Liberties but I left in disgust after a long discussion where they all talked of (with a lot of anger and contempt) removing Christmas from the school calendar. I remember them saying things like, "Serve them right, those bastards." No holidays such as Yom Kippur were discussed. Is that fair?
Those are my initial thoughts. Forgive me if they’re "stupid" because I’m home-schooled. (Oh, and I’m not home-schooled because of any religious reasons, thank you.) We can go deeper into this if you’d like =)
