I truly hope that a legislative assembly in either Alberta or Canada tries to pass a law like that and that the law does pass. I would love to be arrested for breaking a law that said 'not to hang Christmas/Chanukah decorations because they might offend someone'. Me arse has two cheeks, and the people enforcing a law like that could kiss 'em both before taking me to jail.

Because stupid laws ARE passed from time to time is every indication that as people we ought to be fighting against the stupidities by being peacefully disobedient. If indeed a town council did pass such a law, I trust there are some folks with the spine to tell that council (or legislative body) that it should get shagged at its earliest convenience. However, I doubt any council is really idiotic enough to do such a thing.

As an add on, if my Muslim friends were told not to observe Ramadan I would become Muslim for a month, and if my Jewish friends were told not to wear a yarmulke I would cover my head every single time I went out in public. Stupid laws are meant to force decisions that cause good laws to be made.

I hope the intent of this thread was not to cause racial strife or tension. If it wasn't, perhaps a statement from the thread starter would put that thought to rest. Thank you.
