They had been drawn up by a very respected architect, with the production lines developed by another highly respected engineering firm (each had done many USDA plants).<BR/><BR/>The head dude looked over the blueprints and rejected them. When I asked "why"... his response, "I don't like them".<BR/><BR/>We then got into a very intense discussion regarding "like vs required". I left with regional approval (with no changes to my plans), and got national approval with no changes to the plans.<BR/><BR/>You just gotta back em down!Shari Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383810146188428955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-71424932281460784662008-08-06T08:35:00.000-04:002008-08-06T08:35:00.000-04:00I think tx has more or less accurately characteriz...I think tx has more or less accurately characterized the considerations which have motivated CPS' decision to take these 8 kids: <BR/><BR/>Parents are not following the law as CPS and tx construe the law.<BR/><BR/>CPS does this all the time.<BR/><BR/>CPS does not like the beliefs of the FLDS leadership.<BR/><BR/>CPS does not like the behavior of the FLDS Leader, even though he has been in jail for a few years.<BR/><BR/>These were the same considerations which motivated the first raid on YFZ.<BR/><BR/>None of them have anything to do with abuse or neglect of the children.<BR/><BR/>Doran WilliamsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018000232516755128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-35717062539304617252008-08-06T07:58:00.000-04:002008-08-06T07:58:00.000-04:00The raid language is figurative. Count yourself a...The raid language is figurative. Count yourself as essentially humorless.<BR/><BR/>Too dim? Was Thomas Paine too dim? Benjamin Franklin?<BR/><BR/>Third? We've already discussed this Blues, you say you have no objection to their lifestyle personally, it's only a legal issue for you, so again, it's malum prohibitum. It's wrong because it's against the law. This is otherwise known as circular logic.<BR/><BR/>The Racist Beliefs of MY PROPHET? Do you just say this to regularly get me to issue a condemnation of the entire spectrum of Latter Day Saints beliefs? I currently go to an Orthodox Presbyterian congregation Blues. I am not now nor have I ever been nor have I ever contemplated being any form of LDS. I do not even consider them to be a variant of Christianity.<BR/><BR/>Your sixth point? It's entirely probable that the mother of Christ was betrothed to Joseph before those ages. Certainly many girls were. "Sealed" in "Spiritual" or "Celestial" marriage in LDS/FLDS terminology does not always mean sexual union.<BR/><BR/>On your 7th point, I think you are too, if you win. This is a massive public setting aside of law. Texas had no business continuing the raid in the first place. You know it, I know it, anyone acquainted with the case knows it. It frightens me to know that our nations law enforcement officers have gone along wholesale with the ignoring of rights to gain entry and access to material that would eventually result in indictments that Texas had determined from the beginning they wanted to issue.<BR/><BR/>That should frighten you as well.<BR/><BR/>Just look at the behavior of a certain Iraqi dictator's sons to know what abuses a totalitarean regime will engage in. Or maybe you're more from the Bill Clinton "Put some ice on that" school.Hugh McBrydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16926516260588481185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31762465.post-69173609746117369302008-08-05T21:31:00.000-04:002008-08-05T21:31:00.000-04:00First, it's not a raid, it's a motion.Second, if t...First, it's not a raid, it's a motion.<BR/><BR/>Second, if the parents are too dim to follow the law (oh, wait - isn't that how they got into this mess?), then what do you expect.<BR/><BR/>Third, suggesting that your kids go live with a convicted sex offender is not going to please CPS.<BR/><BR/>Fourth, they do this every day - do you really think that they are too dense to figure things out?<BR/><BR/>Fifth, the racist beliefs of your prophet probably didn't endear you to the CPS workers of color.<BR/><BR/>Sixth, the marriage records showing your prophet was marrying 11 and 12 year old girls won't endear you to the jury pool.<BR/><BR/>Seventh, y'all are toast.TxBluesManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008395777633969757noreply@blogger.com
