But look at what you're advocating for... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 06/05/2014 10:55:56 PM

the removal of something somewhere on the off-chance that someone in the future may be offended.

So the business close on Sunday. That is the business owner's right. So the City leadership (who is elected) chooses to start their meeting with an invocation (of whatever faith). That is their right to do so. As I told moondog, you sitting there listening/not listening is not you participating....prayer is active not passive.

As for when it is time to take a vote....the results of the vote are what they are. If the outcome isn't what you like, there are other avenue.
