Mt. Soledad cross ordered to be taken down

[Duck]

I'm not saying I don't sympathize with the atheists on Mt S. Something that large is obnoxious just from a purely aesthetic point of view. And I can agree that putting up new religious monuments is not a good idea. But why is it necessary to tear down long standing features of the built environment, at tax payer expense just because a vocal minority has an ax to grind.

So despite it violating the constitution, it should be allowed to stay because it has been there a long time? Does the same apply is a murderer isn't caught for a long time?

At least you agree that it is un-constitutional for it to be there, and it should not be there, and you only have a practical issue (ie money) with removing it.

My view? Definitely worth getting rid of. Might make a good load of firewood for the local town hall too. That would be nice, getting something worthwhile out of religion!
