ACLU Sues Over Mormon Lease on Land

Gee, faith based national parks! Maybe us heathens should try to buy Heavener Runestone State Park ... even if it's only heathen connection (besides being in fake runes) has been the many moots held on the site over the years - we've got a story here!

Apparently, it's not enough that fundies control the material available in the NPS bookstores, now they want the actual land itself!

And people wonder why I'm so appalled by the Bushies...

LA Times - A clash over the federal government's right to lease a national historic site in Wyoming to the Mormon Church moved to court Wednesday as the American Civil Liberties Union (news - web sites) filed suit, arguing that the government violated the constitutional bar against endorsing religion.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
