re: #128 Cato the Elder
Get real. In New England you need a freakin’ permit to dig a well.
Because you might hit a pipe in the ground you’d have no way of knowing about? Sounds reasonable.
Regardless, you’re bringing public safety concerns into the issue when those are just straw men. The issue is what authority a government should have in passing laws that prohibit the building of structures on private property for religious reasons.
I don’t live in Saudi Arabia for a reason. Even if I were a Muslim, I’d still be living in America. We might make the process onerous, but not prohibitive. And never because we disagree with you on religious grounds.
