 DH>  Explain to me how the display of a Nativity scene on the lawn of city
 DH>  hall, as part of a larger display, makes Christianity public policy?
 DH>  How is allowing a Christian group to use school facilities(as they
 DH>  allow other groups), making Christianity a public policy? Both of these
 DH>  refer to actions of the ACLU, which have had the effect of limiting
 DH>  the expression of Christianity as compared to the rest of society.
 DS> With a church on every corner, and very few with Nativity scenes,
 DS> why would you want more space?  Critics note that "charitable choice"
 DS> is a disingenuous use  of terms; there is little or no "choice" in the
 DS> matter of taxation.   Public funds -- used in what would otherwise be a
 DS> secular, nonreligious program -- are not "privatized" in the real sense
 DS> of the word.  One is compelled, through taxation, to support these
 DS> religious enterprises.
 To coin a phrase, Bravo Sierra! A display which expresses part of the
 traditional Christmas celebration does not establish a state religion!
 As far as the rights of nonbelievers is concerned, what about my right
 not to have the state expose me to the Crap which is Kwaanza?
