Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

TONS OF MORALITY
"This is nowhere more evident than in a small church in Forkland, Ala., about two hours west of Montgomery, where a delicately wrought stained-glass window depicts the tablets inscribed with Hebrew lettering. The window, I was told, was a gift of a Jewish family in the area who used the church on Saturday mornings for their Sabbath services. This elegant rendering of the Commandments stands in stark contrast to the two-and-a-half ton monument of them standing in the middle of the courthouse.
Those engaged in the controversy seem to have lost sight of the Ten Commandments' real meaning, turning them instead into a political symbol to be shoved this way and that."
