Pulaski County here in Kentucky spent $500,000 defending it's ridiculous "right" to hang the ten commandments in the courthouse. That's a chunk of change for a relatively small county in a backward state. I'm sure they could have used that money for pavement, to improve the water distribution system, or paint the court house. Taught a few other small counties here to be mindful of what is hanging in their public buildings.
