Thankfully_in_Britain (1000+ posts) Mon Apr-14-08 08:05 AMOriginal message Paulville: the town where right wing Ron Paul fans will be free Advertisements [?]It's a bit late for an April fool's joke! http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/apr/14/usa At last, some cheering news for downhearted fans of Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican now certain to fail, by some distance, to secure his party's presidential nomination. This month has seen the first meeting of the shareholders in a fledgling community development planned in rural Texas, to be comprised exclusively of Paul's supporters. It is to be called Paulville.The gated settlement will house freedom-loving folk, living unbound by the shackles of planning regulations. Its founders hope that when complete, it will inspire further Paulvilles around America and, in their own words, "literally change the world, one community at a time".The Hudspeth County project has attracted derision across the US, though, with the political gossip website Wonkette.com uncharitably dubbing it "Paultard City". And even at this early stage, it appears that ideological compromises might have to be made. Necessity dictates that the community will function on a cooperative basis, albeit with the ability for households to opt out. The idea is that the option not to access communal utilities, such as electricity, will ensure that its founding individualist principles remain unsullied.At present the online chatter amongst prospective Paulville residents is of septic-tank permits. But when residents are settled into their new homes, it will surely turn to the right to wield semi-automatic weapons and the abolition of income tax.

IT'S A LIE FROM THE START "And even at this early stage, it appears that ideological compromises might have to be made. Necessity dictates that the community will function on a cooperative basis, albeit with the ability for households to opt out. The idea is that the option not to access communal utilities, such as electricity, will ensure that its founding individualist principles remain unsullied."If they're not left to their own devices, they're lying. Community utilities? That's CHEATING. Hope they're soaking only each other to put those in and not the community at large.

I'm more than happy for them not to pay taxes as long as they figure out how to get their own water, take care of their own sewage and build their own roads...also, no money for their schools or access to hospitals or mail, either. If they want this "heaven"...let them know once they check in they can't check out. Lets see how sales go then.
