Window on the West

Personal reflections on my passions: Literature, film, and music; the politics of breastfeeding, parenting, and childbirth; current events; pithy observations.

Letter Published Re Ten Commandments

Got another letter published! This one appears in the July 1st edition of the Charlotte Observer and is available online for the next 7 days. Go to

Charlotte Observer

and search for the title under recent news.

Here is copy and paste of the text:

Wanted: Mascot for commandments
The Supreme Court has approved religious holiday displays if mixed with secular images such as the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus.

What the Ten Commandments need is a cute mascot. Any nominations? The badger of justice? The law llama? The fairness fairy?
