Had to laugh when I got this e-mail. My friend makes the same points I would about the ten, but with much more of a bang:

So what the fuck is the deal with ten commandment displays at court
houses? I always hear people claiming that the ten commandments are
the basis of our legal system (or at least had a significant influence
on it) and the displays just commemorate this. But that's just fucking
ridiculous. Out of the ten commandments, only 2 mention things that
are even regulated by law: killing and stealing. What kind of dumbfuck
would try to claim that stealing someone's property or killing them
would be legal if not forbidden by the ten commandments?
