I have not eaten dominos pizza in over ten years--since I heard that they gave $$ to pro-life groups. This confirms my opinion not to support them.

Quote:

AVE MARIA, Fla. -- America's newest town is rising up in the midst of a dusty tomato field in southwest Florida. And if the Catholics building it have their way, this ultraconservative community with a 65-foot crucifix at its center will be the closest thing to heaven on Earth.

Quote:

The town, to be anchored by a new Roman Catholic university, is mostly the vision of Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, a devout Catholic who is pouring $400 million of his personal fortune into the project.

Quote:

His proposal was welcomed in conservative Collier County. At the groundbreaking last year, Gov. Jeb Bush called Ave Maria a community where "spirituality and serving almighty God is the centerpiece of our day-to-day life."

There will be bothe private and public schools within this town. DO you think that the public schools will actually be all that different from the catholic ones? If you pay for dominos pizza--this is where your money is going!

I knew there was a reason I loved Domino's Pizza.

This thread has the potential to go some bad places. Let's all be very very conscious of being respectful of each other, not calling names, and to keep any abortion debate or religion bashing out of the conversation.

I do not think that I suggested that. I think that town sounds scary--thats why I posted the article. I am very aware that not everyone agrees.

Well at least if the enemies of choice and diversity are all in one place it will be easier to avoid them.

I read the info and visited the website a month or so ago when it came up on another forum I post on... sounds weird to me with all the regulations and whatnot that are unConstitutional, yet the place will have COUNTY {Read Taxpayer Funded, by the whole COUNTY not just the town} fire, police, and EMT services for the foreseeable future....

Yes, but this is nothing new. I pay for a lot of stuff through my taxes that I don't agree with, but nobody seems to mind that. I also wouldn't have a problem with a commune of people who live differently from me starting their own town either. As I'm sure there are many around that I personally wouldn't want to live in...but being that I'm not trying to judge everyone around me...I don't mind if people of the same mind set want to live around each other. I'm not Catholic, but this doesn't bother me in the least. I've even been known to speak to a few.....and nothing bad happened to me.

There were many unconstitutional notions in the proposal for this town, which would receive gov't money. thats part of the scary factor for me.
If wanted to start a commune with some folks where we step up laws that were against the constituion then I would not expect gov't funded services like police, emt, fire etc.

I will clarify that I did not read the article...just the post at the beginning with the quotes from it. I do think I have to pay for some "unconstitutional" things now too though. Not trying to be argumentative...like I said I haven't read the whole article. But I think the constitution is getting pulled this way and that and some things that are getting through would make our founders roll over. Just like a law doesn't make things "right" morally, it just makes it legal...on the same note, a small group of people saying something is constitutional....well, they may read it through the eyes of what they want it to be.

I'm tired, so if that didn't make since, please forgive me

I guess this is more of a tangent though...not really a comment on that town. Okay, I think I'll go take a nap! LOL

Your use of quotation marks around unconstitutional makes me think that the things you are referring to are not actually unconstitutional but rather just things YOU would like to see as unconstitutional.

all fire police etc...is government (taxpzyer) funded. not sure what your point was. CAtholic churches everywhere can call 911 and get the "government funded" police to come out.

I don't think there is anything wrong with this. A Catholic University is being built and there will be housing and retail built around the university. Anyone who wants can chose to live in this community. A few weeks ago there was a thread here about a MDC commune where MDCer's could live. No one objected to that saying it would be exclusionary. And surely anyone who lived there and chose to use sposies or formula feed or not co-sleep would be uncomfortable there.

Really, so you would have no county/state owned roads in your commune, no exits off the gov't owned expressway? You would not have public schools? The hospital and Dr's offices would not take Medicaid or Medicare recipients? No one who received a social security check would be able to buy anything (including a house) in your town? Hmmmm...
