ACLU BULLIES LA COUNTY
(Wednesday) Rather than spend big bucks in court, the County of Los Angeles has agreed to removed a microscopic cross from the county seal. The designer of the seal in the 1950's put the cross there to represent the historical influence of the California missions on the development of the county. Link to earlier post.

I'm not surprised. And I don't think it makes LA County any less Christian (no one is suggesting that it was ever a Christian county). It's just silly -- the secular paranoia over things spiritual.

But the real bottom line was the bottom line. It was a decision based in economic reality. The counties in California are struggling financially. The ACLU used that reality to their advantage.
