Decades ago, the Fraternal Order of the Eagles erected, for free, stone monument copies of the Ten Commandments in front of many local, county and state government buildings. Some of these are still standing 40 or more years later, and not just in places like Texas, like the legal-controversy-generating one on the grounds of the state Capitol.
I present the view in front of a Santa Fe, New Mexico fire station:
Interesting new addendum; per skeptical/liberal friend Leo Lincourt, the Eagles' monuments were
part of a massive publicity scheme by Cecil B. DeMille to help promote the overwrought movie, "The 10 Commandments."
