Local governements must either put up Santas and menorahs or neither. To make it easier a company should sell a Santa holding a menorah.

Great argument but add some more info. He gave a website that says they do. Maybe you live out side the USA but in the USA they do. Thank you |

It may be law someplace but, it doesn't exactly make sense to me. It would seem more equitable to require putting up a "Hanukkah Harry" along with Santa. |

So? The US is only a tiny proportion of the world's population. Why should the rest of us have to comply with the laws of 4% of the world's people? |
|

If [Rexaldo] wants the people of *the US* to do something then he should stipulate that more clearly. |

Christmas trees, mistletoe, holly branches, and Santa Claus aren't religious symbols, a nativity scene or a menorrah is. As long as both religious and secular items are displayed, it isn't "endorsing" a religion. |

I hate laws like that. Fer cryin' out loud, why don't we just replace every public item that has ever had a religious connotation anywhere with a smiley face and a disclaimer saying (this smiley face is not intented to influence you to join the cult of the smiley face). |

Constitutionality run amuck. |

[UnaScot] silly me, I don't quite get the drift of your annotation, can you explain it to me? |
