** As workmen were strapping up the 3-ton granite monument of the Ten Commandments prior to its removal from the grounds of the Alabama Judiciary Building I kept thinking: Be careful - the last guy who broke the Commandments in stone had to go back up the mountain and get another set. Thankfully, the monument moved easily and got carted off in one piece.
Amazing how much passion went into this event. If people care this much about a symbol could they ever care enough about real problems that people are having? We need heartfelt activism on behalf of those among us who are hurting and needy and not on symbols. Let's get real, people.
Anyway, I had a hand in the following article, which I believe places the issue in proper perspective.
