Opium owner liquidates [New Zealand Herald - 2 hours ago]

"`Twenty-five years ago, our need was for visibility. We didn't know who each other were. The world didn't know we were here. Once you get behind the simple desire for visibility, political marches do you zero good. Politicians simply are not influenced by them," Frank said. In Frank's view, American society functions politically according to who gets organized and who gets out the vote and who defends themselves. He sees the National Rifle Association and the American Association of Retired Persons as two groups who are very effective in influencing government and lobbying members of Congress. ``The NRA doesn't have marches. They don't have demonstrations. They don't shoot their guns in the air. It's just good, straight democracy. The AARP doesn't have shuffles. They just write to us and call us and tell us that they're there"
