<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I'm afraid your knowledge of some the V 2020 posters is
incomplete, possibly because you are a new participant. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The most vehement critics of the CCC, of which I am one,
believe in the application of the law to <STRONG><FONT
size=5>everyone</FONT></STRONG> including NSA in an <STRONG><FONT
size=5>even-handed</FONT></STRONG> manner. We also believe that initial
initiative and individual freedom are exceptionally important.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I, and probably all </FONT><FONT size=4>of my
friends, would expect the tax laws, zoning laws, etc. to be applied to the
theoretical institute you describe in your post and to everyone else. If
they were not, and the issue was raised on this forum, then I would expect as
many postings discussing the issue as you have witnessed and participated in
over the last few days.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>That is the issue here -- <STRONG><FONT
size=5>evenhandedness</FONT></STRONG>. The zoning issue with NSA is the
tip of the iceberg with the CCC: safe hijackings with no evidence of
outside participation, art theft, arson, illegal gaming, missing cash,
obstruction of justice, alleged child/spousal abuse, other dishonesties, etc.,
etc. are all crimes occurring within the CCC that somehow the local enforcement
authorities failed to deal with in the same way that they would have dealt with
you or I.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The zoning issue may be an opportunity for citizens of
Moscow to see exposed (if the <EM>Daily </EM>News is also on the
ball, unbiased and unafraid) some of the machinations of the City and
Moscow and the CCC. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If Mike Curley plays his cards right and forces the zoning
issue into court in such a way that discovery (under oath) is permitted, I would
think that you as a prominent and successful downtown Moscow
businessperson will be incensed about how the CCC and some of their related
business entities have received special favors that have cost all of us,
including yourself, money, and have lead to unfair competition. (An
apology: I should have included your business in the list of good examples
of downtown entrepreneurship I posted yesterday. You and your principals
made a large investment that greatly benefits the downtown area and one
that posed a lot of risk. I have known businesses with similar
products and services to fail who had a marketing area 20 times as populous as
yours -- but your business thrives.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Even after this zoning dispute comes to some kind of
resolution, some revelations of other aspects of the CCC's operations and
perhaps their unhealthy entanglement with certain City of Moscow persons/public
officials will be exposed. I am sure some the practices that will be
exposed will piss you off as a businessman and may change your view of some of
those in city government you might have thought were on your side and almost
completely shared your philosophy. (You might reread some of the posts
more carefully of those you now think are your social/economic enemies -- I
think you will find upon careful reflection that you have a lot in common with
them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Look also for some other surprises during this calendar year
about tax cheating, and not just with the CCC.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I do not mean to be facetious or didactic, </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But lets
entertain a new scenario. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Suppose for the sake of argument that the NSA didn't exist
but that a </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Different organization was in the same building. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Lets call them the Moscow interfaith peace institute. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>They receive the bulk of funding from nontaxable groups.
</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>George Soros and various progessive
orgs. They provide the bulk of operating capital. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The peace institute holds classes for its peace degree,
which is non-accredited. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>They pick the finest activists to teach, not bothering
whether they are degree'd or not. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Students and faculty use the nearest parking that they have
purchased permits for. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Now imagine, someone brings up that they are in violation
of Moscow zoning. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Do you really think that this complaint would last more
than one post on this board? </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Both schools have supposedly violated the same laws, same
procedures. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Do you wonder why the NSA rates hate? </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Would the peace institute be treated the same by the
intellectually honest? </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>When you play with discrimination and hate, it has to work
both ways. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The purpose of openness and acceptance, tolerance has to
include all views. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Are you tolerant? </P>
