kholt, I agree that public places, paid for by the tax payers, should not be used for demonstrations that are not in the common good for all the people. What has, sometimes, not been done, is keep all demonstrations in the same category, which allowed a biased concept being on display in public places.

I can understand this concept, and was not surprised, nor angry, that the 10 commandments were removed from public places, but I do totally disagree with the fact that some public places have allowed demonstrations of other religions, and groups with an axe to grind, while the Christians are prevented from using the same venue.

If it is always handled so that all groups, regardless of who, or what, they are, receive the exact same treatment, and courtesies, I have no problem with it. I don't think such a thing can be controlled on a public street corner though, so as long as no bodily harm happens, we will all be subject to some kook rambling on about one thing, or another.
