Any comments on this view of the cross that overlooks the marina?

If that cross was in San Diego, they'd tell them to take it down.
Unbelievable, huh.

Doesn't quite make the new world wonder list. Has to be bigger, like the Jesus statue in Rio.

Dennis: It looks to me to have some pretty crafty sculptural work. My assumption is that it is on private property and was built using private funds.
MEXICO has a much better record of separation of church and state than does the US.
When was the last time you saw a protest against religious symbolism in the US where the privately owned object was located on private property?
Note the absence of any state religion in the Mexican pledge to their flag.

VGA .....
Yeah..... I'd like to get a closer picture of the cross. Looks interesting. It's about the same height as Toll Road Chuy. 75 feet.
I get what you're saying about the differences between San Diego, Mexico, public and private property. The fight over the Mount Helix cross [ is
that where it is? ] just seemed so ugly for some reason.

Maybe he said "jejune," which is not a nice thing to say about Chuy.

Love and Death
Reminded of a scene from Woody Allen's classic:
Allen: Don't you know that murder carries with it a moral imperative that transcends any notion of inherent universal free will?
Keaton: That is incredibly jejune.
Allen: That's jejune?
Keaton: Jejune!
Allen: You have the temerity to say that I'm talking to you out of jejunosity? I am one of the most june people in all of the Russias.

Well "they" did tell the City to take it down but "they" lost. It's still there as the symbol by which, long before the ACLU or its attack dog
lawyers existed, our country chose to show the ultimate sacrifice a service man or woman made for the country. There's a cross on the marker of my
fathers grave at Fort Rosecrans, who was a decorated WWII pilot and he was not religious.
Yes the cross is also the Christian symbol for the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for mankind, but that cross is part of a memorial that family members
of all faiths, and no faith, put placks up to honor their loved ones.
An interesting side note you all may not know. Richard Paulson, the atheist who brought the 18+ years suit against the City of SD died 2 months after
the final verdict was handed down and the memorial was deeded over to the Federal government of undiagnosed liver cancer.
Feel free to draw your own conclusions, I have.
