It's a difficult conundrum, that's for sure. In our area about 15 years ago, there was December fuss in a town about a Christmas scene. Even a Santa was not acceptable to be put on the town's corner without cause offense to someone. Because this town is multli-ethnic with several prominent religions, and is small, the powers that be there decided that a lighted Nativity Scene could be placed on one corner; on another corner was a Star of David with blue lights; on another corner was a lighted Islamic crescent moon, and on the fourth corner was Santa and reindeer. It was settled.

Good morning
You can't decline such actions as long as our freedoms are still standing commandments. Of course, rioting has a way of changing people's minds. This has become the way people handle things, which is why we are living in such an extreme state of chaos everywhere we go.
