Have you seen this ad? It's Mitch Leigh (author of "Man of La Mancha") selling his Utopia, a retirement community in the middle of Jersey with an IMAX, an "experimental theatre" and apartments, condos, office space, and whatnot.
I think it's fascinating. It's rather funny, during his commercial, he says "If you're a nice person, come to my website. If you're not a nice person, don't bother!"
I'm a nice person, and I logged on to his website requesting more information.
I entered my first name, my last name, my address, my e-mail and my phone number. I hit send.
It came up incorrect, with my last name being highlighted. My real last name (which I used) is rather German. So I used my married name (which is Italian). Still no go. Everything else came up legit, it was just my last name that was a problem. I thought "No, this can't be," and yet typed in the word "Goldberg" into the last name field. It went through.
Mitch, yay on your dream, but I'm not a Jew, and yet I'm still a nice person. And I think your dream for a community is lovely.
