While I think the pledge lawsuit was a stretch, and I'm glad that it was ruled how it was (that the pledge is constitutional) - things like this make me nervous.Utah is majority Mormon. Inner city districts are often majority muslim or other religions. If I walked into a courtroom, or drove by federal land in one of those places and saw images from Islam, or a statue of Joseph Smith - I would have an issue with that. So I wonder if it is hypocritical of me to say people shouldn't have an issue with the cross on federal lands?I don't know - would you be fine going into a courthouse and seeing the Islamic version of the ten commandments from the Quran?

They are unnecessary. If the person is so offended by a cross out in the middle of the desert, just don't go there. Maybe I am offended by seeing a house in a certain place which obstructs my view of a certain natural fixture. Maybe I should sue to have it removed.
