Dear Visionaries:

The method of inquiry pursued by those who profess to be enlightened and =
adherents to the concept of universal human rights continues to baffle =
me. You publish a rumor, whether malicious or benign, and then demand =
that the subject of the rumor fill you in.

But aside from all the assumptions loaded into Rose's question, this =
rumor offers some good fodder for discussion which fits right in with =
this forum's purpose.

Let's do a thought experiment. Let's say for the sake of the thought =
experiment that Christ Church or a member of Christ Church (I assume =
that is what Rose meant) buys the David's building. Would that be a net =
gain for the local culture, or a net loss? Granted, you would lose wet =
t-shirt contests, drag shows, and country night. But you might gain a =
place of worship or education, or maybe even an art gallery or a good =
steak & ale house. Which is better? Why?

Cheers,

  Dear Nate Wilson,
  What a thoughtful reply to a serious question -  I had hoped that =
someone from your faith community would respond and quell the rumor, if =
rumor it was.  Oh, I get it,  you were making a joke.  Call me =
humorless, but religious slurs, even those about Christ Church, never =
seem very funny to me. =20

  Dear Visionaries,
  Dame Rumor travels slowly down highway 8, and I don't subscribe to the =
Daily News so I my be repeating old news but I hope some of you may be =
able to respond to my questions.  Is it true that Doug Wilson, or an =
affiliated Christ Church business has recently purchased the old David's =
building - (I think it is called Beaches now)?  If so, what plans have =
been made for it?  What are the ramifications for taxes?  Will the taxes =
of other down town business go up as a consequence? =20
  Thank you
  Rose Huskey=20
