I just saw this on the news... Apparently, Pasco County, Florida has been sued by the ACLU. Pasco COunty has special free speech areas where civic organizations (churches and whatnot) can erect displays on public land. The only stipulation for this is liability insurace, and approval from one of the city attorneys. A church that wanted to erect a nativity scene had to have liability insurance in case anyone was injusred or the display damaged anything.

The ACLU says this is unconstitutional because it essentially means paying for free speech.

My opinion is that the ACLU is a bunch of whiny bitches who have lost their purpose and vision over the last few years. Liability insurance is not a bad idea since it keeps the county from having to foot the bill for stupid people.
