Maybe I read it wrong, but I think the park is public land . . . only the monument is privately-owned.
Whoops! Nevermind, re-read it and saw that they sold the small strip of land. My bad.
I'm an atheist and have never had a problem with displays like this. As long as the government doesn't pay for it, I'm fine with it.
Maybe cities are getting smarter and selling both the monuments and the land to citizens, trying to get the ACLU off their backs.
Hot diggity dog! Best news I've read all day.
What really kills me is that this ever got to a federal (or any) court.
The ACLU is already filing an appeal...
It seems the God haters don't like it that even thout the 10 Commandments is on the "accompanying strip of land" make it APPEAR that the monument is on public land. So just "appearing" to be on public land is an affront to their sensibilities.
(Later pingout.)
Is this one of those monuments enscribed with Christian and Judaic symbols? Hmmm, which religion do they claim it is trying to promote?
Because if it promoting both, then it cannot be in violation of the establishment clause since you cannot be establishing a single religion if you are treating several equally.
