I am not posting in the Pit until Monday, and couldn’t let this go by, as you don’t have your e-mail enabled. > [@](#): > > The county where I practice law is the one of the counties involved in a federal lawsuit because they insist on having a copy of the ten commandments posted in the courthouse. They’ve had 2 or 3 rallies at the courthouse that have resulted in us having to move our court proceedings to another county during the rallies. We have zero, and I mean ZERO, security in our courthouse (unless you count the sign on the courthouse door that says it’s illegal to bring weapons into the courthouse) because the county says it’s too expensive, but they’re spending big bucks on legal fees to keep a copy of the ten commandments in the courthouse. And now this. ::Sigh:: That county doesn’t perhaps begin with an H and end with an M does it? Maybe we could turn this into a GA dopefest! ---

Note to Mods: This is not simply a personal commuication; I am interested in GA dopers and a GA dopefest. ---

Man, seeing your name as a thread title is like getting called to the principal’s office! ``` I'd love to do a GA Dopefest! And nope, I'm not in the county that you guessed- I know there are a few counties fighting the same losing, expensive battle. And I guess I'll go enable my e-mail now! ``` ---
