<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Tom Henderson, once again, has lost his perspective. By
comparing <st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City>'s liberals -- particularly <st1:City
w:st="on">new city</st1:City> Councilor Aaron Ament -- to those nervous
Parisians facing Nazi occupation, <st1:City w:st="on">Henderson</st1:City> has
not only insulted the pro-business side of <st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City>'s
zoning debate, he has insulted his audience, the whole city of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> and in the process made a fool of
himself. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Doug Wilson and New Saint Andrews are serial zoning
violators. The college began in a residential home on <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Polk Street</st1:address></st1:Street>. When NSA was told by the
city that it was in violation of zoning code and therefore must move, <st1:City
w:st="on">Wilson</st1:City> relocated NSA to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Christ</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Church</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
business office, Anselm House. This was yet another zoning violation. New Saint
Andrews bought the historic <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Skattaboe</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Building</st1:PlaceType> and settled in the heart of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>'s Central Business District in which,
quelle surprise, educational institutions are expressly forbidden. ... <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

baseball? In the great game, after three strikes, you're out. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>'s previous city
council raced through a dim and foolish ordinance that makes no sense in terms
of the city's comprehensive plan but which does suit the whims of Pastor
"Zoning? We Don't Need No Stinking Zoning" <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City>. Let us hope that the new city council
acts quickly to right this wrong. ... <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
