> Btw, do you know the real reason the 10 commandments aren't allowed to be displayed in the halls of law and order? You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou shalt not commit Adultery" and "Thou Shalt Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment.
Although I'm sure you meant this to be a joke, I feel compelled to add the following just to set the record straight:
"As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments engraved on each lower portion of each door. As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see the wall right above where the Supreme Court judges sit a display of the Ten Commandments!"
