I was thinking more in the line of metal plaques. An example of the laws and a short history of where they came from. In order of their appearance in history. The code of Hamurabi first. The others would be displayed equaly, Native American, Hindu,etc. Only the largest courthouses could handle the full presentation but smaller commemorations could be designed. It would be more of a tool to interest people in the necessity of the Law in everyday life and a way of firing up the imagination and desire to learn of the young. http://www.christiancourier.com/archives/bibleLanguages.htm another link to study this one gives better information. Aparently the Jews of that time often spoke or wrote in three different languages. Hebrew,Aramaic,and Greek.

You'd never be able to satisfy everyone and the US alone recognizes everything from Satanism to UFO cults as viable (and tax exempt) practising religons. Then there's all of Christianity's spinoffs, sequels, prequels and of course, the re-launch books (although those are not really considered "canon" and have kinda a fanboy feel to them).

Good point. The Laws that are a part of the history of mankind on this planet should have their place. Screw the UFO nuts.Religion is not the thing I would like to see displayed, but to present these Laws without telling how they came to be would be anti religion,not neutral to religion.

Agreed. This hereby ends the "Seperation of Church and State" thread.

Robert Louis. I've determined that if I hook up a generator to his grave, in which he's been spinning since Treasure Planet was released, it'll solve all the world's energy peoblems.

See who? Jesus? (probably NOT a good idea) That wacky Judge? Mountain Man?
You speakth of events and members concluded long before my own stealthy arrival. Please elaborate.

Fourteen tickets to a fortnight of consecutive midnight showings of Dickie Whatever, BABY!
But, no, Stephenson is going to be reading from Quicksilver at the University Bookstore at the University of Washington. Now I just have to figure out a way to get to Seattle and overcome my crippling fear of urban streets.
