My thoughts are that the same rule should apply to everyone in that particular Village.
Also, the government cannot promote one religion over another. Or even lack of religion.
If a white cross is permitted, then what about a sculpture of a Quran? A statue of Buddha? A sculpture of Ganesha? The star of David? Or a black cross on a white background inside a red circle with a diagonal red slash, the atheist symbol?[/COLOR]

The First Amendment to the Constitution says we have the freedom OF religion, not FROM religion. This expressly means we Americans can, uh, express our religion - like a little white cross.
It is easy to use scare tactics of suggesting we'll have a bunch of Nazi, Muslim, atheist symbols across The Villages, but honestly...seriously... do you really think so? The use of this scare tactic is shameful coming from an American who doesn't understand he is shutting down free speech here in The Villages.
