Old Nintendo games are fun...
you don't even need an old Nintendo.

Well, I finally went and did something I've been thinking about for a long time. Against the advice of at least one family member ("you're young, and there's plenty of time to give your money away later"), I joined the ACLU. It's a cause worth fighting for; it's certainly a cause worth $20. Civil Liberties are really the central struggle. If the government becomes unaccountable to the people, than any other issue - the environment, gun rights/control, health care, you name it - becomes moot, because the government is going to do whatever the hell it wants, and damn the consequences. So, the ACLU is the first organization that gets my money. The fact is, I'm not poor. I figure if I have $30 to buy Master of Orion 3 (which I expect to be a very enjoyable game), then I've got $20 to put toward something worthwhile. Hopefully I'll have the willpower to keep giving to organizations like this. Heck, if the Mormons can donate 10% of all income to the church and come out all right, then I ought to be able to make some regular donations of my own.
