What a very smart discussion (even if it's not a...defense *g*).
I particularly like the way you bring in the parallels between the OTW and the ACLU because, okay, I've been sending money to the ACLU for most of my life, and yet some of the time, the organization makes me extremely uncomfortable because of things they say in the media or defenses they've chosen to take on (Nazis in Skokie, for example. she said, risking the invocation of Godwin's Law)...but I so completely want somebody to be there on the front lines that I can't not support them.
