Of course, I never accused fundamentalists of being logical.

Interesting, I've lived in several places on both sides of the Rockies and have not known many people who want 10 commandment monuments pulled from public places. The fact is that they understand it is a secular symbol in this location yet can be a religious symbol in a church or home. It seems to be some people with advanced educations that have trouble seeing this duality of purpose and the common sense to tell which is which. You cannot remove the 10 comandments from our government without destroying part of the foundation of the legal system that it supports. Hopefully the Supreme court will devise some "legaleese" that will serve the same function as common sense in this matter.
