File this under the "Even a broken watch is right twice a day" file (referring to the Impostor Gazette rag).

The key word in that quotation, as we see it, is "continued."

Bull, the plaque should remain because we are a tolerant nation with the right of self determination and the right to free speech. We were founded on many religious principles, at the very least, as eloquently defined in the Ten Commandments. The people of that community have accepted this and elected to embrace them. Who the Hell cares how long ago?

Notice that God can only be invoked when they want to raise taxes, but is verboten in any other context?

Thou shalt be sensible / (Allegheny)county dodges a Ten Commandments suit (Pgh)..."dodges" is exactly the right word - as in the Chester County case, which held that the Commandments were a "historical document", this decision again avoids finally closing with the crux of the issue - are people with certain values to be allowed to express them openly in the face of opposition from others who do not hold the same values as long as that expression does no material damage to those opposed, except perhaps for some non-demonstrable "offensiveness" - I fear when we finally get to the point that no one can say or do anything for fear of "offending" even one other person, we will be nothing but one big silent puddle of grey goo....
