Sir;... Just two little things: Societies must think out loud... People can think without making a sound... They can think volumes, and not make a move; but societies have to think in public, express themselves, and communicate..And...I do not argue with the religious right on moral grounds against abortion... They have a good moral argument, and do not follow it up with good moral behavior...I simply do not believe that governments which exist to defend rights can both attack and defend rights... I think they have to do one or the other... As far as your talk about Christian religious displays... It is not all about religious symbolism... Some people see a cross, and see a literal cross... Others see the cross behind the cross, and the second cross the establishment wants to hang everyone on that does not submit to their leadership...I see the double cross, that these people want their rights to freedom of religion supported by government while they attack every liberty, every power of the people and every right... I have bent my knees begging God for a miracle till the floor was talking to my brain... I do not ask for miracles from my fellow man...I expect everyone to take advantage of ever bit of power they are fortunate enough to grab... But I do not put it past the men of God to be as grasping after power or wealth as any other part of the population... It takes more than a good book, or a change of clothes to change a man...Let it suffice that one man died on the cross for us, and recognize that the cross was the means to our salvation, and quit suffering humanity to deliver us from our own pain... If each person bears their own pain, and takes only a little of their neighbors pain, then we will all get by... Those religious people who think they can make humanity better by the theft of their rights should show the world the moral slave... There is no such animal... Free people are moral, and only good people can be free...It is the meaness of sinners that seeks to make us a nation of slaves to Christ or any other being...They need to be resisted out loud, and if necessary, in the street... A democracy thinks out loud, and the louder the better... Government with its formalities, -all the honorables this and thats from buncomb county are not talking about anything we need to hear...Watch a little of C-span,, and you will quickly realize that behind all that sugar and mouthing of platitudes are a lot of closed door deals we never see that gets nothing good done for the people...Clearly they bad mouth the other party to pieces...Among their own, or in public, or to their constituencies, the other side is treated like a red headed step child... But where they should go after the other hammer and tong, and cane them, or kick their teeth out, it is all sweetness and light... I do not think it is better to be led by so many hypocrits than to be misled by fools... We need government, and government is the place where society talks to itself...Our government only lies to itself, and lies to the people... So we should be loud, until the government grows scared enough to quit... They are scared now, but only scared enough to attack our rights at every opportunity...That kind of scared we do not need... Thanks...Sweeney

From the article: "there are religious symbols on the Supreme Court building. If I recall, I have seen a carving in the court's chamber of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God." There is also a pagan law code decorating the Subpreme Court Building (The "Code of Hammurapi"). Is Mr. Tyrell prepared to aknowledge our vast pagan herititage? Is Mr. Tyrell prepared to aknowledge that the Constitution is based on secularist philosophy? Why do those who push Christianity in public places so often feel the need to be dishonest?....He's trying to give the impression that the Ten Commandments aren't part of an extensive depiction of the history of laws that decorate the Supreme Court building. What's wrong with promoting our Christian heritage in an honest way?
