Wil, I'd like to have trees, candles, singing, gifts and smiling faces.
I don't want lawsuits and the hate that comes with them.
I don't want lawyers and the ACLU.
I want Peace On Earth, but, I guess that is nigh on to impossible, these days.
From later in the article:
Last year, a Catholic lawmaker from Spokane and his supporters stirred up a hornets' nest when they sang Christmas carols in front of the giant holiday tree that dominates the Capitol rotunda in Olympia. Rep. John Ahern, a Republican, said the Washington-grown fir is a holiday tree, not a Christmas tree.
What's up with that? Why would singing carols generate controversy?
