"....the government we have gives freedome and livelihood to the Gentry, to have abundance, and to lock up Treasures of the Earth from the poor, so that rich men may have chests full of Gold and Silver, and houses full of Corn and Goods to look upon; and the poor that works to get it, can hardly live, and if they cannot work like Slaves, then they must starve......and yet you say this is a righteous government, but surely it is no other than self-ishness, which is the great Red Dragon, the Murtherer.
"Buying and Selling is an Art, whereby people endeavour to cheat one another of the Land.......and true Religion is, To let every one enjoy it." "Was the earth made to preserve a few covetous, proud men to live at ease, and for them to bag and barn up the treasures of the Earth from others, that these may beg or starve in a fruitful land; or was it made to preserve all her children?"

Ross, I am sorry but we do have secret rules. Many of them. They are chiefly secret because we forgot where we put them and are trying to find them. I am unfortunately out of the Black Fungus of Persia at the moment because I blew my fungus money on mailing 400 copies of the newsletter instead, so park planning aficionados could get their fix on time, and I haven't gotten reimbursed yet. We are currently considering a proposal to change the name of Clark Park to "Lincoln Financial Park." We are not at liberty to disclose the name of the other party to the negotiations at this time. But the resulting revenue, we feel, could fund a continuous flow of information about the Recreation Dept.'s capital improvement plans into every household in University City, three days a week, whether they like it or not. If they don't have a computer and don't read the paper and are too feeble to visit the park's bulletin board, we'll tape planning documents to a brick and heave the brick through their window. As often as it takes. But bricks are expensive, so we're going to need corporate backing. I think it's worth it, though, because nothing in life is more important than park planning. -- Tony West ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Ross Bender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ** On 1/13/07, Anthony West <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > True, but it is required, by a rule passed at a Membership Meeting in > 2003, that FoCP contact the UC Review.

Don't start telling me you really do have SECRET RULES that you don't publish in the bylaws. I mean, those bylaws are so bleeping detailed (9 pages) that if there really is a UC Review Rule why isn't it even hinted at???? Are you messing with my mind or what?
