Okay ACLU, Where are You?" An AV News Commentary
With all of the “Intervention” by the ACLU, just where are they?

A.C.L.U. – WHERE ARE YOU?
The ACLU has in the past shown that they want to interpret the U.S. Constitution. One part in particular is the separation of Church and State. Because of that, there can be no Christian activities on state/government supported schools. There can be no renting of facilities for Christian activities as well as restrictions of the use and display of Christmas materials.

O.K. A.C.L.U. – Where are you? Many, many schools are bending over backward (forward) to make sure that Muslim children have times to pray. They have set aside rooms and prayer mats for the purpose. This practice is being done despite the fact that a religion is being allowed in a public school system. What the hell is the difference? Is a Muslim more important that a Christian? Are we afraid to offend? So what if they do not get to pray five times a day? Adapt! What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the camel.! ACLU – get off your dead butts and fix this or stay out of the way!

Speaking of that?
The Identity Problem.
We can solve a lot of difficulties by starting something that the Germans and the Russians did and probably still do. “Where Are Your Papers?” at the time was something to fear. But in this day of not knowing just who your neighbor is, or just who is getting on the airplane with you, the country needs a good, secure ID Card, and requiring everyone over the age of, say 16, to carry it at all times in public. Technology is such that such a card can readily be produced in a secure manner. What about privacy? What privacy? When you leave your residence, you no longer can expect privacy. There are too many television cameras and monitors for you to expect that you can remain ‘out of sight’. And if you are doing nothing wrong, then why would you be worried about privacy?
But if you are trying to hide something, then someone else needs to know, So when asked, bring out your National ID Card, show it when asked, and go on with your life.

and finally…
The DUI Problem…
Back East, a man has been told by the court that he has been permanently forbidden from driving a motor vehicle because of his history of driving under the influence of alcohol. In fact, this individual has been permanently banned from driving SIX TIMES! Just how are we to deal with this situation? What if your wife or child or husband were victims of a vehicle accident caused by this individual? Would you be accepting and merciful? Or would you take things to the point of making this individual room temperature? For all intents and purposes, the legal system just does not have a solution to this. After all, alcoholism is a disease, and you cannot punish someone for their disability. The case is open. By all means, if you have a suggestion or recommendation to make this situation go away, let’s hear it. Higher gas price is one of the lesser reasons why the author tries not to expose him and his family to the roads and traffic. It’s dangerous out there when we can’t seem to keep the drunks off the road. There! I said it. Drunks! Not alcoholics! Drunks. Make the first offense loss of vehicle. That would be a good start.
