thanks for the link. i wonder what FOE is. as it is, i don't agree with the previous ruling. in my opinion, it does not matter who owns the land or the object in question. if the goven't is leasing the land for thier use, who owns it doesn't matter, it is being used for official government use and what is one it is a reflection one them. if i lease a house, and grow pot there, does that mean that the leasers are also pot growers? no. i am. (although, in reality, i'm not. this is hypothetical).

by allowing something of a religious nature (like the monument) on property that is being used by the government, it is still showing silent endorsement of the religion.
