Sucessful raid today by "Walton County Code Enforcment"

Man talk about a thread taking a right turn.

Maybe you need to change your avatar again--something to veer it back to the left.

Good idea. Maybe this will work.

I thought Sinclair Lewis was Shari Lewis' husband--ya know, the one with the puppet Lambchop?

...thanks, SHELLY! I have been looking for a new siggy. I tried to use the violin playing smilie, but couldn't get it to work.

SUCCESSFUL!

This coming from a truely artistic and eclectic society!

Still, a statment of such nonsense just warrent my respect.

We loved that show!

But it makes learning fun. I thought Sinclair Lewis was Shari Lewis' husband--ya know, the one with the puppet Lambchop?

I've never read the book, but are you all saying you've never heard of Elmer Gantry? Described as such via Wiki:

"The novel tells the story of a young, narcissistic, womanizing college athlete who, upon realizing the power, prestige, and easy money that being an evangelist can bring, pursues his "religious" ambitions with relish, contributing to the downfall, even death, of key people around him as the years pass. Gantry continues to womanize, is often exposed as a fraud, and frequently faces a complete downfall, yet he is never fully discredited and always manages to emerge triumphant and reaching ever greater heights of social standing."

What does an artistic and eclectic society have to do w/ consistency and picking up the trash slobs leave behind?

I've never read the book, but are you all saying you've never heard of Elmer Gantry?

I do know that Sinclair Lewis said "When facism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"

...I'd go out on a limb here and say that many more of them have heard of Lambchop.

I've never read it, and have no intention of reading it. Why would I want too?

Because it's got to be an awesome read. It was banned in Boston!

Maybe you also have a quote for when socialism comes to America?

I don't understand how it's okay for Code Enforcement to pick up signs w/ known owners (and often in front of local businesses), but for some reason we can't enforce the "no items left on the beach overnight" ordinance for fear of legal reprisals.

While it's nice that they are getting rid of some eyesores, I would rather we focused on the beaches.

I second that .... if both acts are against the rules, why the difference in willingness to enforce the rules?

All I can ask is, have you taken the time to analyze what he is saying? Do you have an idea what Facism is? Do you know its history? Do you know the role of nationalism in facist societies? What role if any does religion play?
