Well, it turns out there's a lot more to the story than was first claimed. If
anyone had bothered to look past the first source, instead of just demonizing
Fox News, they'd have found out a little more.


It seems that there was some damage to a neighbors car, around $200 or so,
which (now get this) David Jones paid for!


And its true that sometimes as many as 20 people come to their weekly bible
study.


Even so.....some busy-body neighbor complained to the county code office.


Now this all happened in a rural area of San Diego county, a place called
Bonita. (Being in Bonita is like being out on the desert!)



Anyway......instead of Ceppa (sick) and his propagandist friend `factual'-Dave
Drum, hyperventilating over it, a little further checking would have shown
that the county, confronted with Religious Freedom issues in court (not to
mention a flood of complaints from hundreds of people over it), withdrew their
insistance on any type of permit.

BA>Source, John?  That exact quote is attributed to Bush minor and the person
BA>who publicized it claims to have three different sources for it.


Thats the whole problem with that stupid attribution to GW Bush; lots of
*claimed* sources for it.....but lets see some names! NAMES! NOT CLAIMS!


By the way....over the years the minister of our church held gatherings just
like that at his house also. Never a complaint.


My employer also holds gatherings here on their patio (a very large affair
around their swimming pool, which I helped build about fifteen years ago), at
which vast amounts of food is served. I typically deep fry two or three
turkey's for the Thanksgiving gathering alone, and end up having to carve
about five or six turkey's in a row.


No problems with food inspectors, or health officials so far in almost 18
years of doing this.


Let you know if any show up this year.
