"Sorry, in the public arena, YOU, Mr. Paulen, are not better than Habib (considering he is a citizen)."

I never said I was. You, on the other hand, appear to be claiming to be better than both of us in that you don't want any religious symbol in the public courthouse.

It should be left up to the residents of the community -- it's their public courthouse, their City Hall, their town square. They may decide they don't want any. They may decide they want all. Or some.

That is the way the Constitution and the Rill Of Rights were originally written. And I know you're real big on the thoughts and opinions of the Founding Fathers.

I have no qualms about removing as much power from the federal government as possible... and then some! I agree to a large extent that most decisions should be left up to the residents of the community in question, no doubt about it. And you're right.... I do hold the opinions of the Founding Fathers in high regard, especially Thomas Jefferson, who would agree with me in this particular debate.
