I told my boyfriend.. we're not buying anymore pizza from Dominos. I will not help fund a town like that!

I'm torn on this issue. I support people's right to create intentional communities which are goverend by their own rules, and I'm more than happy to see this kind of fundamentalist sequestering from the rest of the world. On the other hand, soon after this community is built people will be born there and thus be forced into a repressive environment which they did not choose.

It's hard to pick a side here.

a few years ago he built a very large (very modern looking) cross near the expressway outside of ann arbor, MI, on the property of his "dominoes farm" i believe it's called. i think it is/was a petting farm? i don't know if he still has that property in michigan, but the cross is still there and very visible. i can say from that that he is quite active in promoting his beliefs.
