In article .com, Gus says...

There's nothing wrong with that approach. What they actually do is to
threaten a town or school and say that if you lose the lawsuit we'll
make you pay our expenses and pretty much bankrupt you.

Sounds like what happens when the PA folks tried to cram creationism
into their schools. They lost, and they had to pay.

This is how it works in the US, gus. Ya do something stupid and
actionable, yer gonna get sued. If you loose, you wind up paying
out.

The lesson here is, don't do stupid stuff, like putting bible tombstones
in your courthouse. It's the legal equivalent of painting a bulls-eye
on yourself and running around in the woods on the first day of
hunting season.

I would say that folks complain a heck of a lot about the legal
system in the US when their pet ox gets poked. Then there's all
kinds of hollering and foot stamping. But the system never does
get changed, does it? Half the times it's the other ox getting
stuck.

Tell ya what, I'll agree that the aclu should close up shop about the
same time that jerry fallwell and that other dobson guy eliminate
*their* circus.

Folks who complain loudest about our legal system here are sure
free to move to some other country where we've spent a lot of taxpayer
dollars to be sure their legal system has a strong moral, religous
underpinning.

Sharia.
