I just love playing with peoples’ heads. I love the surprise effect it has when people can’t pigeon-hole me.
Today was one of those days.
I had the pleasure of introducing the executive director for the Maine Civil Liberties Union. She was presenting at Rotary on the federal governments’ so-called RealID program.
Maine was the first state to “opt-out” of this undebated national identity card program. A program that dictators like those in Germany and Rwanda use to track people and weed out ethnic or political groups.
I’m so glad for groups like the ACLU and the MCLU. I don’t agree with all their issues. But I sleep much sounder knowing there are watch dog groups out there protecting my civil liberties. Liberties that are so callously tossed away by otherwhise rational people.
Today I got some of the same looks I get when I tell people I’m a pastor and that I brew beer.
Priceless.
ACLU….eesh
🙂
I’m with you, man. And I sure do prefer the ACLU to the ACLJ…
Thanks Benedict.
I’m sure both have a part to play. 🙂
Point taken, my friend! 😀
