"Media-savvy Mormons push around naive Studio City folks"

You're seeing how quick the "tolerant" people can get a nice hate going for a relatively defenseless, but productive and non-disruptive part of society.

A sign of the future?

She's actually saying something even more intolerant: that Mormons should stay in Utah.

There is in fact a big, hard-to-miss LDS temple in Los Angeles; is she suggesting that the people who worship there not be allowed to live in California and participate in its politics?

I wonder how Ms. Davilman would react if somebody wrote a letter saying that if he wanted to live by Jewish mores he would have moved to Tel Aviv. (This is essentially the equivalent of what she is saying.)

It reminds of of one of my favorite simpson episodes.

And, of course, no Mormon's live in California and contribute to political causes. Their money is being sent to Utah for spending purposes.

From that Simpsons episode; the foundering production of the film "Radioactive Man" is leaving Springfield to return to Hollywood. Mickey Rooney addresses the people of Springfield before they go:

Rooney: Well, I hope you're all satisfied. You bankrupted a bunch of naive movie folks -- folks from a Hollywood where values are...different. They weren't thinking about the money. They just wanted to tell a story, a story about a radioactive man, and you slick small-towners took 'em for all they were worth.
(...)
[the helicopter swings by overhead]
Pilot: Hurry, Mr. Rooney! We've got a disenchanted little girl in a Jell-O Pudding commercial!
Rooney: I could play that...[grabs the rope ladder]
(...)
In Hollywood, an assembled crowd welcomes back the troubled production with open arms. An actor hugs the assistant and says, "We know you don't have any more money left, but that doesn't matter. Just take whatever you need from our boutiques until you can get back on your feet." The assistant sighs, "Thank God we're back in Hollywood where people treat each other right."

Now just WAIT, John Craig! Los Angeles is "Tel Aviv West".

Where do you think the secular Jews go when they abandon Israel for the USA?

Ignore Mrs Davilman. She sounds like one of the perennial secular complainers writing in to Ha'aretz.

They really got their p@nties in a twist when the Orthodox stabbed that homosexual parader in the Jerusalem Gay Parade.

It was just a flesh wound, but it sure gave them a tune up!

Going a little (or a lot) off topic, this thread reminds me of what a great show the Simpsons was before it got stale and the writers adopted the worldview and preachiness of DailyKos.
