Why? Wouldn't all those restrictions have a negative effect on the land value?

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

The creation of a bizarre christian mini-utopia would surely be flocked by inhabitants of the bible belt and probably beyond.

I'm not surprised someone affiliated with Dominos dreamt this up.

We Michiganders have known for quite some time that Monaghan is a fucking wingnut.

"I believe all of history is just one big battle between good and evil. I don't want to be on the sidelines," Monaghan, who sold Domino's Pizza in 1998 to devote himself to doing good works, said in a recent Newsweek interview.
Yes, evil would surely take a major blow. What?

If I eat ben and jerry's ice cream and Domino's pizza, will the resulting political dichotomy produce indigestion?

03/03/2006 09:21:01 EST Pizza Magnate Modifies Plans for Fla. Town
By BRIAN SKOLOFF
Associated Press Writer

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - The founder of Domino's Pizza backtracked Friday from earlier comments that he'd like to establish a new town in Florida governed by strict Roman Catholic principles, denying access to birth control and pornography.
Thomas S. Monaghan has pledged $250 million to establish Ave Maria, a town 25 miles east of Naples built around a the first new Catholic university in the United States in four decades. Both the town and the university, founded by Monaghan, are set to open next year.

"There's a lot of misconceptions about this. I don't really have a vision for the town. I have a vision for the university," Monaghan said Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Last year he told a a Catholic men's group in Boston that pornographic magazines won't be sold in town, pharmacies won't carry condoms or birth control pills, and cable television will carry no X-rated channels. Monaghan said Friday those comments were "out of place."

"The town is open to anybody," Monaghan said. "The university - it's a different story. It will be primarily Catholic."

The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida promised lawsuits if the proposals were to become law. Florida Attorney General Charlie Crist said he saw nothing that violated state law in Monaghan's proposals.

"We do not discriminate against anyone," said Paul Marinelli, CEO of Barron Collier, an agricultural and real estate firm that is developing the town in partnership with Monaghan.

Marinelli said it will be requested that stores not sell contraceptives, but the sale of birth control won't be restricted. He said the town would not bar access to any cable television program, but the town will not have adult bookstores or topless clubs.

"We're not trying to create a city with walls around it that isolates from the world," Marinelli said.

The community will be set on 5,000 acres with a massive church and a 65-foot tall crucifix at the center of town.

A whole town full of hypocrites, and people who will be driving to the next town over to visit the porn shops and strip clubs, and hide all their dirty secrets back at home.

In fact, right beside the 65-foot crucifix, they should erect a massive closet, in which they could store all the babies they allowed to die because of deformities, their pornography, and their naked little boys.

Right next to that, they can have an abortion clinic which they blow up and rebuild weekly, to make themselves feel better. :olo:
