[quote=Anonymous]VOICE did not advocate building on parklands but individual chruches and members did.  In case anyone doesn't know about VOICE, Arlington, it is a coaliton of left leaning churches who had to adapt a social message that would attract newer attendees or have their places of worship closed for lack of membership.  Most of them would not be open now without their pre-schools and other social welfare programs who rent space from the churches.

Most individuals in VOICE are long time attendees who retired from the government as GS-10s to 15s and live in houses they bought years ago for $100,000.  They have nothing to do during the day and can adopt a social conscience because it doesn't affect them personally.

The irony of this is that the lead charge is in a neighborhood where a concrete block wall divides the border street from the border street of a traditionally black neighborhood.

If you want to talk "revisionist framing," ask the members of VOICE who live in that neighborhood why they have never done anything about "the wall."  Guilt and people who benefit financially from affordable housing have caused the fanaticism of VOICE.

Attend the voice meeting on June 23, and you will see the zealots and their masters [/quote]
