Not one offered to do it nor did even one answer the question, the only answer I got was "I'm allowed to profess my faith" which of course is true but they are not allowed to put the ornament in/on their front lawn.
I agree with what you said........HOWEVER..........how many on here have never violated the speed limit? Not even to pass someone going five miles an hour under the limit? Rules are not LAWS. There are compromises, flexibility for almost all rules. Just because someone puts one of those little crosses in their yard, that does not mean that tomorrow they plan to put an old rusted truck on blocks in their yard. I bet many of the ones complaining about violations to the rules are also lenient when it comes to what they think of illegal aliens violating our borders. Of course, that is a LAW that is broken, not a rule. That said, there is also the rule of law. However, we are speaking of civil or tort rules, not criminal law.
