What's Wrong with America #4,328,327

In the good ol' days of America Freedom of Speech was a concept enshrined and valued highly - along with slavery. Now it seems that speech should not be expressed so freely, at least in Christmas - sorry, 'Holiday' - wreath form. In Colorado a local residents association wants to fine a woman $25 a day for hanging a wreath in the shape of the 'satanic' peace symbol of CND. The homeowner, to her credit, intends not to bow to this act of festive oppression.

I look forward to watching the South Park episode that is bound to come from this. Or the revisions to the PATRIOT act forbidding such acts of evil.
