    civil liberty extremist

    Hey, Glenn.

    Where can I sign up to be a Civil Liberty Extremist? I think that's a club that I would like to belong to. After reading John Adams' and Thomas Jefferson's letters, it looks that at least Adams and probably Jefferson also were in the club. So, that's the kind of club that I want to join.

    I'm ready to sign up.
