CarolC, Correct me if i'm wrong, but the Christian religion is not being forced on anyone by displaying the Ten Commandments. The mere display of a pre Christian fundamental basics of law, is not trying to say we should be Jewish either. The foundations of US law are as much based on Judeo Christian values as any other. The Ten Commandments are a fundamental basis for modern law. The Iroquois League had as much to do with the foundation of the US Constitution, and as such the law respects their belief system too.

Yours, Aye. Dave
