It's the basis for many of the laws in this country.

It's public property, it should have been put to the public to decide.

The gripes of a few outweigh the desires and the beliefs of the many.

This country has officially failed.

Freedom of speech is dead.

And before I get the religious freak nonsense, I'm not religious by any sense of the word, and I do not believe the 10 commandments to be the word of, nor written by (a) God, but of man.

My gripe is solely about the freedom of speech being trampled.
How would you feel if it was a monument to the Koran that was on government property?
