		<description><![CDATA[Apparently, the freedom of assembly comes second to the zoning rules of San Diego, CA. [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>&#8220;On Good Friday we had an employee from San Diego County come to our house, and inform us that the Bible study that we were having was a religious assembly, and in violation of the code in the county.&#8221; David Jones told FOX News.<br />
&#8220;We told them this is not really a religious assembly — this is just a Bible study with friends. We have a meal, we pray, that was all,&#8221; Jones said.<br />
A few days later, the couple received a written warning that cited &#8220;unlawful use of land,&#8221; ordering them to either &#8220;stop religious assembly or apply for a major use permit,&#8221; the couple&#8217;s attorney Dean Broyles told San Diego news station 10News.</p></blockquote>

<p>Apparently, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_assembly">freedom of assembly</a> comes second to the zoning rules of San Diego, CA. This is the same freedom of assembly that is recognized by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights">Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a> (United Nations), the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution">United States Constitution</a>, and even the <a href="http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/.const/.article_1">state constitution of California Article 1 Section 3 Subsection a</a>.</p>
<p>This further reconfirms my prejudice that zoning boards are nothing but power hungry land grabbing bastards. Property rights are what make free societies work, eroding them erodes the base of a free society.</p>
