> that the bulk of our laws are PREDICATED on the Ten Commandments.
Really? Wow. So all this time... it's been *illegal* to work on Sunday? To not respect ones parents? To not put Jehovah before all other gods? To have a painting of a bird? To covet your neighbors stuff (and here I though we were a capitalist nation...)? To have the hots for your neighbors wife?
Man. Somebody REALLY aught to tell the news media that these things are illegal... I see people doing them all the time!

I think what DustyMoment means is that the Western concept of higher law, of human rights irrespective of government, is something that the Ten Commandments gives us. In a civil sense, it tells us where government may not go.
A wall hanging hurts no one. The government of Goshen is not forcing people to go to church or worship Jehovah. Ergo no religion is "being established."
A Ten Commandments monument only hurts folks like the ACLU, who are desperate to remove all outward symbols of God's covenant, which includes negative sanctions for those that disregard it, and reminds the left that there is an eternal standard that holds them accountable.
