So, if 2 or 3 people complain, they take that as a threat and remove the nativity? What if 50 or so complained that they were offended because it was removed? What is the outcome of that scenario if those of the larger group want it to remain?
I sometimes think Americans are just too passive and let these things get past them without being aware that they, too, have a voice and need to fight back! (verbally, of course).
50% of parents can complain about something offensive at a school and be ignored, but if 1 leftist parent demands something, they get their way.
That same American passivity has allowed conservatives to lose control of the traditional marriage argument, at least for now. Some of our finest legal minds have found it difficult. Until very recently, maybe 15 years ago, nobody across the land ever thought one would have to develop a suitable legal polemic and functional philosophy to justify keeping marriage as to man and woman exclusively. No law schools trained their lombards to fight effectively from that perspective. It will be up to the next wave or generation of legal experts to figure out how this can be justified today. Obviously, that gay marriage is against some Christian’s religion means nothing these days, unless we design a new approach. I predict we will. There may be a new name legally adopted for male/ female marriages.
