I'd like a large mushroom pizza, hold the Jesus
Every Domino's pizza I ate before 1998 helped pay for this.
I can't even begin to tell you how not right that is. I'm never eating pizza again.

thomas monaghan and mel gibson should get it over with and just make out already. praise the lord.
Well, apparently they're going to have to go to Mel's place to do it...
Maybe Mulder was right when he said all the nuts roll down to Florida.
I did know someone who converted to Catholicism. It wasn't because he was marrying a Catholic, either. I suppose he found Jesus or somesuch.
Personally, being agnostic suits me right down to the ground.
Porkchop:
1) The simplest answer to your question is found right in the first sentence of the article - "governed according to strict Roman Catholic principles." So much for the separation of church and state, eh?
2) If it's fine to say "I want to build a town that only Christians can live in," then is it also fine to say "I want to build a town that only white people can live in?" Discrimination is discrimination no matter how you dress it up.
3) It seems to me like the last time a part of the nation wanted to step away from the Union and live by their own laws, it ended up being called "The Civil War." Do we really want to start letting little pieces of America ignore things like the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and just govern themselves however they feel like it?
Hey, maybe all the hipo-christians that continue to point out all the things I do wrong and tell me I should go to church will all move to this town and leave me to be the happy heathen that I am. Although, I wonder what the large retired jewish population in Florida thinks of this...
Yeah, let's talk about telescopes and seve the religion for when I *really* get into it. ^_^
The #1 rule is: DO NOT BUY A TELESCOPE FROM A DEPARTMENT STORE! Those scopes are crappy pieces of junk poorly mounted on rickety tripods that you wouldn't trust to hold your sandwich. If someone really wants to get into skywatching, they need a good piece of equipment, and they have to be willing to shell out some bucks. If they're not dropping at least $250-$300, they'd probably be better off with just a really good pair of binoculars.
#2: DO NOT BUY A TELESCOPE BASED ON ITS ADVERTISED POWER. Or magnification factor. Etc. It means nothing, and as a general rule the more a scope relies on that number to suck you in, the worse that scope is going to be. Aperture (diameter of the lens/mirror) is king. Even the best scopes top out (clear image-wise) at about 50x-75x per inch of aperture - so if you have a simple telescope with a 60 mm aperture (2.5 inches), you're looking at a maximum realistically attainable magnification of about 125x.
Beyond that, any advice will wildly differ depending on what it is the person wants to use it for and how often they plan on using it. I would really recommend that your mom go in to a telescope shop, talk to someone knowledgable, tell them what it is that she's wanting to use it for, and get their input. I bought a couple of eyepieces and a tripod at this place in Springfield that I can't remember the name of - it was a camera shop somewhere down on S. Campbell. Reasonable prices and what seemed like an intelligent staff - maybe she should give them a call or stop by.
