Whacko nutjobs.

If Domino's Pizza founder Thomas S. Monaghan has his way, a new town being built in Florida will be governed according to strict Roman Catholic principles, with no place to get an abortion, pornography or birth control.

The pizza magnate is bankrolling the project with at least $250 million and calls it "God's will."

I've just read that... and

(plays devils advocate)

is it so bad a thing? I mean personally I think you always lose more than you gain when you wall yourself away but if people purchase those houses with their eyes wide open and want to live in that environment... Is there anything wrong with it?

I dunno

It's not for me tho - no pron???? what would I do in the evening - I'd have to talk to you lot - *shudder*

I don't see why people can complain. If I moved next to an airport and then started whinging about the noise, I'd rightly get told to shut up.

As the article points out, it probably won't be allowed to exist in the form they propose anyway as its unconstitutional. I don't really care whether some nutjob wants to set up a theocratic town in Florida because it won't work anyway. Self-righetous types move in, their kids grow up, rebel, town dies or changes. Haven't these people seen Footloose?
