I wouldn't want to hear that wailing either, but be ready for the ACLU to call for a halt to bells pealing as it would offend atheists.

With the courts interpretation of "freedom of religion" meaning "freedom from religion", I would not be surprised.

I was thinking the bells was a valid argument but the author has a good point. A bell is a bell. A bum in a dirty nightshirt yelling over a loudspeaker at 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. is proseletyzing.
