While the federal courts in Las Cruces and Denver placated the rampant fears in Las Cruces when they ruled that Trinity crosses are not religious, the primordial fears of the citizens of "outsiders," non-Christians, and non-believers, continue to reign.
Besides all the city vehicles, and now the Dona Ana County vehicles with their dripping yellow Latin cross, every government document has its crosses. From the Trinity crosses of the City to the new County cross. Thousands! scattered throughout the city and county. Many of these documents intentionally wind up in the public schools. Every business license has one hanging up. Every City newspaper ad is prefaced with the Trinity crosses. Gee whiz, it can't be proselytizing can it?
The religious Knights of Columbus have a new, large sign on Telshor Drive promoting "Keep Las Cruces Beautiful." by including the City's Trinity crosses. Also along Telshor Drive is an insurance company, the same as the mayor's company, using the same City's Trinity crosses with the "Keep Las Cruces Beautiful." logo. The City encourages the use of the City symbol by citizens to show their pride. Pride in being prejudice?
The "Keep Las Cruces Beautiful" logo has put the City's Trinity crosses in the Sun's position over the mountains to the east. So insulting.
Is it a coincidence that Las Cruces, Christian, beautiful, prejudice, and sectarian, all have nine letters?
