It's important enough to me to pump $360 bucks a year into my membership and additional fund drives. There is a members legal challenge underway now to the changes MFB and her allies managed to make in the constitution--but you're right in one thing, Garg--the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Catch-22 says they'll do anything to you that they have the power to do: and the "they" in this case sure ain't lefties. They are way out there to the right of Genghis Khan, familiar territory to you--out where power is its own justification.
