Wasn't Neptune a Greek god? We can't have any of that. No gods or Ten Commandments in public places.scarcasm

I don't know, it's kind of growing on me. But then what do I know, I'm not "trained."

That is just what I was thinking, he was a god, it would be like sanctioning a religion. I am sure there are people who still believe in greed gods. No way should they have this sculpture if they can't have Ten Commandments sculpture.

As long as it is not Christianity's God, it's o.k. Ancient Greek gods are mythology. Astrology is acceptable, the Ten Commandments are not - they are too real and threaten the Socialists agenda.

Communism is alive and well in America.

Roman variation on the Greek Poseidon, if you want to be picky.

And no, I don't suspect the ACLU will show up over this.

And last but not least, I am trained, at least a little bit, and I think it's cool. As an artist/graphic designer, nothing yanks my chain more than random abstraction pushed as 'great art.'

Yeah, we'll fund elephant dung on the BVM, but we'll pass on Rockwell, Elvgren, Frazetta, et. al.; after all, they weren't ARTISTS, they were ILLUSTRATORS (that is, people bought there work; in the art world, this is a bad thing).

Of course, that's just MHO.
