IF the ACLU is seriously concerned, perhaps the regulation will be revised. *I* am not well enough versed in the complexities of law & bureaucracy to analyze the consequences of the regulation....but I do admit it.

I am sufficiently versed in argument form to see the flaws in the presentation of both the original editorial and the way it was introduced in the thread.


"As for letting the article stand without comment, I have been dumped on when I did that- NOW you dump on me when I state why I post something???"
*I* did not 'dump on you' for stating WHY you posted, but about the tone and 'chip-on-the-shoulder' attitude.

   There is serious comment, and then there is specious assertion about 'double-standard'. THAT is my concern. IF you see, or have specific comparisons re: double-standard, then explain them. Don't just use 'double-standard' as a generic accusation about everything we naughty, flaming liberals have done or probably will do.

Basic debate about HOW liberals & conservatives argue should be left to a different occasion. It is a wide topic.
