Apr. 27th, 2005 02:52 pmEverybody else in this joint puts packages with bad addresses outside my office door. So I leave a metal rack out there so there won't be a big, messy pile of boxes out there. People keep stealing my rack, so I attached a sign to it today that says, "MOVE THIS RACK ON PAIN OF TORTURE!" And underneath it says, "Cardinal Fang, get ... THE COMFY CHAIR!" I can guarantee that no one here will get that.
Meanwhile, Bill O'Reilly just called the ACLU a terrorist organization. *sigh*

Aren't they?

In the 1920's "ACLU fought the campaign of harassment and deportation ordered by U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer against politically radical immigrants, supported the right of Industrial Workers of the World members and other trade unionists to hold meetings and organize, and secured the release of hundreds of activists imprisoned for their anti-war views and activities." Till this day, it not only works to safeguard rights such as freedom of speech, equal protection under the law, due process, and privacy, but also works to gain rights for segments of the population which have traditionally been denied many basic rights under the law. The ACLU believes strongly that if the rights of society’s most vulnerable members are denied, everybody’s rights are imperiled.
Apparently the terrorists want to destroy American bu up holding the rights the Founding Fathers gave us. It seems to be a reverse psychology plan of attack.

Somewhere where people didn't have to be scared to about what people would do to them for believing what they believed in. Where people could walk in the streets without people screaming at them that they were "Niggers" or "Wetbacks" or something else.
And I feel sad because we're not managing to do what they wanted to be done.
