I don't see a threat from a bunch of like-minded people forming their 
own community as a threat, either.  Richard clearly views it as 
terrible, though.  So does the ACLU.

Richard's arguments seem to me to strongly resemble the arguments some 
people use against nudist resorts.  I wonder what his position is on 
those?

The ACLU, of course, is opposed to the Ave Maria community because Tom 
Monaghan is Catholic and conservative.  If the same concept was started 
by any group of reliable Democratic voters (say, if Jerry Brown started 
up something based on the ideas of Timothy Leary), they'd be defending 
it.
