i've seen the recent rash of articles about the Salvation Army's stance on homosexuals and it's efforts to have Congress pass an antidiscrimination exemption for groups like them. i didn't realize though that the SA was also spending $88,000 to $110,000 per month to lobby for Bush's forced-conversion-based intiative. couldn't that money be better used to, oh, help the needy or something? at least buy some warmer coats for those people who stand outside Hell-Mart ringing the bell.

i've had my own pet theory about the Salvation Army for a while now, similar to my Girl Scout theory. someday, when i'm in a better mood, i'll share it.
