Sounds like a Homeowners Association to me. :-) Hi Bill, Do they subscribe to "signing statements?" 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Hi Bill, They: the Homeowners Association signing statement: a Fascist rewriting of a contract already entered into. I can anticipate a "no" in response to my question, and as such the Homeowners Association ceases to qualify for the current state of the Fascist art. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

What they are is meddlesome groups who find great joy in uniformity and exercising control over a group. The original intent of such groups was keeping Bubba from parking his '68 Marlin on blocks in the front yard, or using a toilet as a flower planter. What they have evolved into is a way for nosy people to squawk about anything they don't like and now since somebody somewhere doesn't like everything about anything, you have to get the paint color of your crown molding approved, and can't hang clothes on a wash line in the back yard. You can't plant a veggie garden and the plants you can plant are from an acceptable list. And yet There is nothing evil in such matters. It's a free country, and if some people feel more comfy by giving up some of that freedom so that they can get 5 grand more when they sell the place and move into the nursing home - and give the money to said home, then let 'em have at it. There isn't any law against stupid. -73 de Mike KB3EIA - |

Hi Mike, Sounds like we've discovered the last of the proto-neocon republicans in their natural preserve for endangered species. Amusing to contemplate that they share the same future prospects as the Spotted Owl - courtesy of the social engineering bulldozers coming out of the beltway. ;-) 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

You just defined fascism. The original intent of such groups was keeping Bubba from parking his '68 Marlin on blocks in the front yard, or using a toilet as a flower planter. It's a free country, and if some people feel more comfy by giving up some of that freedom then they, too, are fascists. |
