ACLU

I suppose that I'm glad that the ACLU exists. In the past I've thought that perhaps they were the scourge of american democracy, but I suppose they're good for us just like the people forming militias in their basements are good for us. They are the extreme left, and if they didnt fill the shoes of non-sensical left-wing extremists, who would? Where would be the man who believes you should be free to do anything and everything you want? Now I'm not saying you should be or are that free, but I am saying: doesn't it seem appropriate that someone thinks a crazy thing like that?

I think it's the same thing with the rich. It's fun to make fun of the rich, to expose the outrageouness of celebrity lifestyle and Bill Gates' ridiculous extravigance. I very much agree that we should help the poor and that hard work is most often good work, but I also think that it would be a great loss to society if there were no mansions on hillsides, if there were (as John Mark Reynolds has said) no more silly ladies who owned 2000 pairs of shoes.

Extremes seem appropriate in most societies, don't they?
