[Vision2020] Girl Scout Cookies (was re: Doing Kai's work for him)

[Donovan Arnold]

Wayne touts,

"But it is my choice as a member of a free society to
ask for enforcement of the law and to do other things
toward entities with objectionable practices as
racism, homophobia, sexism, lying, cheating,
anti-democracy, theocracy, etc.  That's why I choose
to and will 
continue to rail about and to expose the Christ Church
. . ."


First, might I suggest selection of a different
approach to fighting bigotry and intolerance than to
use bigotry and intolerance? 

Second, you comment, "for enforcement of the law and
to do other things toward entities with objectionable
practices". So now Wayne Fox is the ultimate decider
of what is objectionable and tolerable? And the
enforcer as well? Well, I do not seem to recall the
moment that God, or the good people of Moscow, granted
you this arbitrary authority Mr. Fox. Can you please
point to the section of the Moscow City Code or the
Good Book where such authority is established?

Or is it just that you, Mr. Fox, with your morally
superior intellectual skills, naturally just take this
authority in the absence of Jesus Christ and God
Almighty himself?

Third, might I be so bold as to suggest that if you
are going to tackle bigotry that you actually tackle
the reasons behind bigotry using logic, reason, and
appeal to your fellow citizens instead of saying you
will "do other things toward entities" that say they
believe in something different then you. 


Finally, let Mr. Fox's words be testimony to the fact,
that Mr. Fox is fully aware that he does what he does
knowingly, discriminating against a group of people
because they believe in a religion different from his
own. Rather then confronting arguments he disagrees
with using logical and appeal to his fellow citizens,
he chooses to instead use force and discrimination to
silence those whom he disagrees.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold









It is not possible to act with discriminating.  What
is important is 
the 
basis of discrimination.

The world is full of tyrants, criminals, and/or
phonies.  I wish I had 
the 
time and aility to neutralize all of them.  I do not,
hence I must 
choose 
on the basis of probable success, proximity, and
egregiousness.

As Rose says in her posts:

"One cannot level one's moral lance at every evil in
the universe. 
There are 
just too many of them. But you can do something, and
the difference 
between 
doing something and doing nothing is everything."
Daniel Berrigan

>From reading your posts over the last months, I know
this is a 
difficult, if 
not impossible, concept for you and certain others to
grasp.  Still 
there is 
hope that some begin to see the fat, green snake
lurking in the green 
grass.

Take care,
