i find this interesting - is their any basis for a suit at all? what kind of can of worms does this open if it succeeds? no more commentary/pictures of any and all religious symbols, at the very least. personally, i think it gets tossed …
(mods- i believe the last one got locked at some 20 pages … if this fits somewhere, please add it.)
