Mayoral Decision
A group of our town's most prominent Christian leaders has come to the Mayor's office, asking that we allow them to erect a Nativity scene on the city property in honor of Christmas.
At one time this was considered a complex issue involving separation of Church and State. However, that issue has been settled by the Supreme Court recently, when they required that the Ten Commandments, something used by major non-Christian religions as well as Christian ones, from a courthouse, because it implied a religious connection to the judicial system.
At the same time it seems silly to completely ignore the fact that at least 80% of this town's population celebrates Christmas in one way or another. The Mayor's office feels that it should support all people in our multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious town, but that this should be done in a way that shows respect for all practices and belief systems.

The Mayor suggests that these be representatives from the business community. The Mayor's office should not be used to promote any religious beliefs, but support of the business community is appropriate, and we recognize that holidays are often accompanied by an upsurge for all kinds of businesses in our town.
This committee should look for symbols of holiday celebration that foster a feeling of commonality among all people. Thus, a Christmas tree, something adopted from non-Christian beliefs, might be a better representation for Christmas. A menorah might make a good representation for Judaism. The seven candles of Kwaanza might fit well, but these decisions will be left up to this committee, with the understanding that understanding and community should be emphasis, not specific groups' religious beliefs.

The line of legitimacy, separating socially approvable use of force from violence, cannot be effectively drawn without an agreement on what constitutes the optimum amount of force necessary to maintain social order and to protect human rights against encroachment. A society subscribing to infinite morality which condemns all use of force as immoral is doomed no less than a society accepting the absolute pragmatism of tyrants. " As Oleg Zinam
