Snark, Critic and Pop!

I’m a fairly conservative fellow or a dull guy, depending on your perspective. I’ve never smoked, taken druges other than prescribed painkillers, and I don’t even drink alcohol (though I did recently win a beer in a bet, so I’ve one should I decide to start). Other than one speeding ticket and eating a cookie when Mom said not to when I was 6, I’ve avoided criminal behavior for 32 years and counting. That is, unless I move to California. You see . . . go to Bible Studies. I throw myself on the mercy of the court.

ABC News reports: “A California family has been fined for holding weekly Bible studies in their home, meetings that are allegedly in violation of the city’s zoning regulations. . . They have already been fined $300 and have been told they will be fined an additional $500 per meeting if they continue to meet without a Conditional Use Permit..”

Apparently one “sore” neighbor (give the man an asperin, already!) complained. But according to the story, there isn’t even a crowding issue caused by the cars parking at the family’s house. There are six acres of unused land next to them.
