Frankly, I don't care much whether the Menorah is equivalent to a nativity
scene or a Christmas tree -- my view is that the display of any of the above
on public property violates the separation of church and state, and should
not be done.  Yes, I know the Supreme Court feels otherwise -- that does not
give me the license to act in a way I consider to be immoral.  (It took about
60 years for the to reverse themselves on Plessey vs. Ferguson; maybe this
one will be reversed somewhat sooner.)
