All the closed roads etc. - what Mattand called the Pope-pocalypse.

I understand a little more now as I’ve come down through the thread. Thanks.

Regarding the ACLU…I’ve never quite figured out why people, especially conservatives, have such a hard time with them as an organization. I see them as an extension of our laws…a sort of overseer of those laws.

To me they are out to protect everybody in regard to the laws and that is what causes most to not like them. But the laws are for everybody no matter how despicable. That’s why I have no problem with them dealing with the Snowden case. Also why I understood their position in the famous Skokie versus the Nazis being able to demonstrate.

Do they screw up…yes. But I’d rather have them than not.

And I should think a good conservative would be fine with them too.
