you have to, because if you don't, you are saying you know more than the Lord. Because He directs every action of the President of the Church who called the person (whom the Lord in turn directs his every move) who called this person to the advisory position. ;)

Everyone on this board, if they support the Prophet, MUST now join the ACLU

I know the beginnings of the ACLU were quite Gadianton in a fashion, but it has attracted enough civil libertarians that I think there is room for a libertarian-leaning faction within the group these days. I see them sound the alarm often enough at certain things done in the name of security and against religious liberty, that I have mollified by abhorrence to the group as of late.

I was asked this same question in an interview the other day and I could not come up with anything. We literally had to stop the interview for like 5 minutes while I thought about it. I finally came up with something tho. I liked the way he handled the pirates when they took over that boat a while back...but man...that was all I could come up with....
