I think the Flanders character may be the most complex in the series. His parents were hippies. Is his boring personality really REBELION against his parents? He went through "spanking therapy" - the Minnesota Spanking Protocol - for 5 years. He lost his house, his business, and his wife. He questioned his faith. Came through it all unfazed, faith intact, and never let his kids down. I don’t think Ned is a stereotype at all. Now that awful pastor of his church………

Did you pick up on this one? Christians discover Tiebout By Alex Tabarrok on Political Science Would you like to live in a Christian nation with government similar to the early United States? No, it's not Colonial House (much inferior to Victorian House, by the way) but Christian Exodus ChristianExodus.org has been established to coordinate the move of 50,000 or more Christians to a single conservative state in the U.S. for the express purpose of reestablishing constitutional governance....ChristianExodus.org is orchestrating the move of 50,000 or more Christians to one of three States for the express purpose of dissolving that State’s bond with the union. The three States under consideration are Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina. The exact destination will be chosen by vote of our membership. Our move will commence when the federal government forces sodomite marriages on our local communities or once we reach the 50,000-member mark, whichever comes first. If this sounds kinda familiar you may recall the libertarian Free State Project "an effort to recruit 20,000 liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire." marginalrevolution.com
