The Amish do it. Why can't the Catholics?
The Domino's pizza founder, Tom Monaghan, is spending $400 million to build a Catholic community.
Though he says nonbelievers are welcome, Monaghan clearly wants the community to embody his conservative values. He controls all the commercial real estate in town ... and is asking pharmacies not to carry contraceptives. Monaghan says: "I believe all of history is just one big battle between good and evil. I don't want to be on the sidelines."
Now, for the purpose of this discussion, let's ignore Monaghan's beliefs on the supposed war between good and evil. Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with this? I think it's awesome. 
And though I doubt it will be anything close to the utopia Monaghan likely desires, it's a step in the right direction for future such developments: if people want to set up their own sub-society with its own laws and have the resources to do so, why should we stop them? As long as those who enter this society do so of their own volition, what's the BFD?
P.S. Anyone else think they should bring back the Noid?
