Wow, I had heard a vague reference to that story, but hadn't delved into it much further until now.

Whatever happened to tolerance of other's religious beliefs, anyway? The ridiculous nature of some court proceedings stemming from America never ceases to amaze me. That's not to say it doesn't happen in other nations, but when your country dominates the global media these little incidents have a tendency to pop up in the place of similar, and often times more pressing, problems plaguing others.

I suppose that's besides the point, though.

Cheers to Chief Justice Moore.

Although I realize there's a fine line in supporting thoughts of the conscience, this is more of an issue of faith and the tendencies of man to regulate it in order to avoid an uproar amongst the general public.

I'm sure they view their protest less then an attempt to maintain the commandments and moreso as one to express their firm belief in what they represent. And really, I'd say that more than falls into that little 'Freedom of Speech' issue that finds itself in your nation's constituion.

Although, I'd give it another decade or so before that too is remedied in order to fit the needs of the handful of media conglomerates that will be supervising the nation. Especially given the FCC's recent rulings on the subject of American media ownership.

Strange days, indeed.
