And he's only offended if it is on public property.  So when he sees any 
religious symbol he can instantly tell whether it is on private or 
public property to know whether he should be offended or not ?  Wow.  I 
don't know about you but I often can't tell by glancing at a building 
who owns it.  He's got some apparent special power that the rest of us 
don't have.  Of course if it exists then I believe the solution is for 
the government to own many less buildings and pieces of property.
