though as we have seen here, not everyone has the same sense of humor. Are we now going to question the morality of everyone's senses of humor?
I am a liberal and I could care less if the 10 commandments were posted on public property as an example of the history and development of law, whether they were religiously influenced or not, but I don't feel that the 10 commandments are representative of all people's beliefs in the United States, so should not be used as an example or representation of OUR laws.
Where is the similarity there, that would point to hippocracy? Freedom of Speech? No. One issue is public, the other private opinion. Our Task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, the whole of nature, and its beauty.
