| join both Four boxes to be used in defense of liberty, in this order: Soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box.
The EFF only has two of those in its arsenal. The NRA has three. The people have all four, at least the ones that aren't too apathetic to drag themselves away from American Idol long enough to go vote... |

Oh wait, you mean voting in an election... Then, no, they probably don't go out and vote  |

Re: EFF, the NRA of the 21st Century said by pawpaw:If you value your liberty, join the EFF. The EFF is indeed an impressive org. They plod along at the foundational level fighting the good fight relatively uncelebrated. I respect that. |

Re: join both The analogy fails because the EFF doesn't work for the interests of ATT, IBM, Microsoft, etc. In fact, they are often found on opposite sides of a court room.
Whereas the NRA defends profit not liberty. It doesn't cross gun manufacturers. -- dnoyeB "Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard. " Ecclesiastes 9:16
