In New Mexico, the city of Las Cruces, Spanish for ‘the crosses,’ is under fire because of the religious implications of the official logo.
A federal lawsuit seeks to have the logo, which depicts three adjoining crosses, changed to something that does not include any reference to Christianity.
Filed by Paul Weinbaum and Martin Boyd, the lawsuit claims the logo amounts to religious persecution of non-Christians.
“The last time we saw crosses on a police uniform is the examples from Nazi Germany and we got police in Las Cruces with crosses on their uniforms,” explains Weinbaum. “I almost get upset spending time on this because we have other things we can be taking care of.”
Among those who want the logo to remain as is are Las Cruces Mayor Bill Mattiace and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
Mattiace maintains the crosses do not endorse any particular religion and are up ton individual interpretation. “Anyone can perceive what they want out of that log, so they have no right to change it for the others that are depicting and seeing something else in that symbol.”
People need to get el lifo. It’s called The Crosses because it’s name is THE CROSSES! Hellooooooooo.
O.M.G,
I promise to become a believer if you smite these people for me.
Thanks,

Kurt Vonnegut: ...said it was “sweet and honourable” to die for what you believe in, and rejected the idea that terrorists were motivated by twisted religious beliefs.
“They are dying for their own self-respect,” he said. “It’s a terrible thing to deprive someone of their self-respect. It’s like your culture is nothing, your race is nothing, you’re nothing.”
..."You would know death is going to be painless, so the anticipation - it must be an amazing high.”
:...Vonnegut is an addled old fool whose brain has rusted in the antiestablishment default position for so long he cannot distinguish between suicide bombers and people who stage a sit-in at a Woolworth’s counter. ...Of course, all it would take is a few book editors in a few magazines to say “to hell with the old coot; I have a cousin serving in Iraq, and I’ll be goddamned if I give this hairy old fool a pass because he wrote a book my brother loved in college. What’s the matter with us? Do we excuse everything because it kicks Bush in the nuts? If Madonna puts on a suicide belt in her next video and sashays into St. Peters to protest, oh, I don’t know, popery, do we give her a f*$*#ing golf clap for pushing the envelope again?’
Earth to KV: you cannot deprive a man of his self-respect, being as it is, a product of his own choices measured against his own Values. Men throughout time have kept their self-respect in unimaginably dire circumstances by recognizing what is under their control and what is not, adjusting their world-view to the current circumstances, maintaining their Values and behaving accordance with them.
Nope. No breaks from me for this Man of Letters.
