Yet another encroachment on our freedoms

[--Pete]

Hi,

How hard is it to assume the officials were wrong when they reversed the decision themselves? Or should we assume they are wrong in reversing it?

The pressure to reverse the decision because religion was involved negates any assumption about the correctness of the decision in the first place. Right or wrong, when dealing with the mad dogs of church it is political suicide to oppose them.

Having 20-odd people over for dinner is little more than a family dinner or small house party from my perspective. We used to have way more people than that over to the house where I grew up for any number of holidays, without anyone even having to park on the street. We never got any complaints either, although most of the neighbors were corn fields...

First, every week? Yeah, the annual event or two might be overlooked by the neighbors, but after a month or two of inconvenience, the humor of the situation wears thin. Second, I don't think this took place in farm country.
