The Ten Commandments
Legislatures in 12 states have taken measures this year to permit the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools and buildings. What do you think about this challenge to the separation of church and state?
Irwin Wagner,

"It's about time our nation's educators took steps to address the rampant problem of false-witness-bearing among our nation's youths."
Frank Boggs,
Advertising Director
"I'm all for showing The Ten Commandments in public buildings. Have you seen it? Edward G. Robinson is hilarious."
Bill Murvin,
Delivery Driver
"I'm opposed to the Ten Commandments being posted at my county's courthouse. The decision of whether or not to kill should be left up to the individual."
Heidi Mancuso,
Psychologist
"The Ten Commandments should be posted in all courtrooms. And the U.S. Constitution should be glued onto Jesus' chest in every church in America."
Judith Cole,
Librarian
"Today's children need guidance. And nothing gets a bigger response out of kids than a list of rules hung on a wall."
Brian Froehm,
Student
"Sure, I think they should be posted in my high school. Only, they should add an 11th Commandment that says, 'Thou shalt not be such a fuckin' pussy, Jeff Pleisner.' Because Jeff Pleisner is such a fuckin' pussy."
