Thanks for writing. I'll address each of your points individually:

1) An attempt to be snide regarding my design/research skills is pretty much laughable due to the fact that even though I designed my layout, I'm actually in fact not a good designer and I don't really have any design skills. But thanks for the compliment, sort of.

2) Is the entire blog really poorly researched? Or are you just a fan of the ACLU? In fact, how many posts did you read? Just curious. That's a pretty outright statement considering one visit.

3) Starting your comment with an insult in the first sentence kind of puts a damper on how your most appreciated insight will be received. That's just a general tip for the future.

4) You're right, the ACLU doesn't directly endorse candidates, but they do indirectly and that's what I was getting at. They make outright statements like (blank candidate) is a "CARD-CARRYING MEMBER OF THE ACLU" and what not. They also endorse many partisan Bills, Initiatives, and Referendums. Many of which happen to be sponsored by none other than Democrats.

5) I don't need to check to see how non-profits are financed. You can simply read their annual report which most publish via their website.

Lastly, just for clarity, I have no problems with nonprofits (although some of them pay beans and have horrible benefits). I plan on starting one myself in the future and my mother is the Artistic Director of one. I just don't like the nonprofits I named and what they stand for. It's a poor use of tax-exempt status if you ask me. And out of oh one million or so nonprofits in this world, I'd say that's pretty good (even though Part 3's still coming).

Thanks for chiming in,
Ambra
