I hope one day you find happiness…though “Happiness” will probably be his prison name. – Canadian cops who think they’re funny
The ACLU really did care about civil liberties once, as you can see by today’s second video (provided by Brooke Magnanti); it’s a series of TV spots from 1974. Of course, it still does care when that caring intersects its other agendas, as in the link from Stella Zine immediately above the video. The first video demonstrates the concept of spontaneous order, meaning things humans choose to do together without threat or coercion; it was contributed by Mistress Matisse. Every link above the first video came from Popehat, and the links between the videos from Michael Whiteacre (“Canada”), Jemima (“coming soon”), and Angela Keaton (“never call the cops”).
