[Vision2020] MLK RIP

Thu Jan 20 10:27:32 PST 2005

Keely, Captain Kirker,

Perhaps instead of giving the soon-to-be-old high school to NSA (Nasty 
Saints Association), we should raise some money to help them in other ways.

Given their views, it think it appropriate that the community should provide 
the elders, deacon, trustees, etc. of Christ Church, NSA, Logos School, etc. 
with clown suits.  Except for Cult Master Douglas Wilson, all of these suits 
would be accessorized with big, red clown noses.  Wilson's huge suit would, 
of course, come with a giant Pinocchio Nose.  If there were any women in 
cult leadership roles (which there are not), they could be appropriately 
costumed as prostitutes.

If we do this, then visitors to our community could distinguished between 
normal citizens and those of the cult who propagate racism, sexism, 
homophobia, anti-secularism, superstition and ignorance, fawning, slavish 
idolatry (of Wilson), anti-public education, tax cheating, etc.

Perhaps the Moscow Chamber of Commerce should take on this project to 
protect the city's image, to help athletic and other recruiting efforts at 
the UI, and show how that they finally have escaped the binding irons of the 
cult itself (or have they?).

> More than 10,000 people in Philadelphia and 30,000 in Hollywood
