Ten Commandments Allowed in Courthouses

A federal court says an 83-year-old plaque of the Ten Commandments may be
displayed at a Pennsylvania courthouse - for historic, not religious,
reasons.

A three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today the
plaque's age, not its religious content, was the prime motivation behind the
Chester County Commissioners' refusal to remove the plaque.

The decision is likely to be taken to the U.S. Supreme Court because three
other federal appellate courts have ruled against displaying such symbols.

Chester County commissioners say the issue is historic preservation, not
support of religion. They said the ruling would affect hundreds of
courthouses across the nation, many of which are historic sites.

"Thou Shalt Not Kill"

Can you send a copy to the White House,too?

The 200 dead Americans in Iraq probably would wish Bush had read it (if they
were still here).

"Naturally, the common people don't want war;
neither in Russia nor in England nor in America,
nor for that matter in Germany.
That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders
of the country who determine the policy and
it is always a simple matter to drag the people
along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist
dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist
dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.
That is easy. All you have to do is tell them
they are being attacked and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing
the country to danger. It works the same way
in any country."
- Hermann Goering, Nazi Reichsmarshall
