Okay Sports Fans. I know that it has been oh something like 3 months, 1 week, 1 day and about 15 hours since the 2007/2008 Football season drew to a close. But we have already had the 2008 NFL Draft for crying out loud. the mandatory training camps are underway, the rule changes have been set. it’s time for the 2008 NFL Season to start already!
Sigh. Guess I have to wait 3 months, 24 days until the start (Giants vs Redskins). and a mere 10,281,600 seconds until the Patriots play!
the ACLU and You – or Me.
I happened to notice an online news piece about the ACLU applauding a college’s decision to mute the microphone of their valedictorian when it was deemed she was being too religious. Having been a bit fed up with the ACLU’s crap. And mind you I think that the ACLU had an important part in our history, and to a small degree sometimes still do. But their purpose has largely left, and like any organization, they want to survive. So I think they take such views to that end. Irresponsible to say the least. I would challenge any one of them to state how their views help our society.(McCombs is the student, Lichtenstein the ACLU’s lawyer for Nevada)
