Our (Catholic) Town

Um, yeah, so the guy who used to own Domino's Pizza has decided to start his own town in South Florida. The town will be run under strict Roman Catholic rules, which means the stores can't sell birth control or pornography and the Drs cannot perform abortions. The Priests, however, will be available to molest your kids within 30 minutes or less! (Yeah, so I'm kidding about that last part....well, kinda.) Jeb Bush was present for the "groundbreaking" of the town, which will center around a Catholic University.

So, we discussed this whole thing in one of my classes. And the best question I came up with is: If this was a Muslim town, would Jeb Bush have been there for the groundbreaking??

Here are a couple of links to stories on this topic:

Who knows what Ole Jeb would do, but that is an interesting question. The Christians keep saying they are under attack and in some ways they are, but this country would flip if a Muslim town was trying to be built. But, like Carlos Mencia said, "Hey Mohammad, it's your turn."
