As you already know, I engage those who defend such forms of control, like yourself. I live close to Washington DC and have participated in many demonstrations. The last time I visited was at the Stewart rally to restore sanity, which was a lot more fun than demonstration, but hey, everyone needs a break. I donate to organizations, and participate in their awareness events, including trying to gather more support and recruiting more members. My last donation was to the ACLU in April, after a good month, here is a link, you should donate too http://action.aclu.org/site/PageServer?pagename=FJ_donationhome&s_subsrc=horiz _nav_hp
By the way, check out their front page which has a link to an article with their view on what happened in SF. |
right on then. nevertheless, it's interesting to note that the aclu merely questioned the tactic.
"Shutting down access to mobile phones is the wrong response to political protests," the ACLU's Rebecca Farmer said.
here's another way to look at it- let's say bart officials closed the station for ANY reason, that is not necessarily a move towards police state, even though it removes the facility that provides you the privilege of travel and convenience of using your cell phone during.
it's fundamentally important to understand the difference between rights and privileges, especially in a society of 300+million people.
