Nativity Scene Without Mary, Joseph or Jesus
Time for a wood shampoo.
The library of Memphis, Tenn. has allowed a Nativity display on it's public area, but only if Joseph, Mary, the Wise Men and Jesus are not included. The manger has animals and a shepherd gathered around.
The public area is for community organizations to places announcements of upcoming events. A local church was using the Nativity scene to announce its coral presentation for the Christmas holiday. They were told by library officials that the figures the library wanted removed were "inappropriate".
Inappropriate would be an inclusion of Halloween decorations or the space shuttle. Inappropriate is the exclusion of the figures that give the display context. Saying "No you may not use a Nativity Scene." would be more appropriate than allowing a meaningless display. For not using common sense I offer a holiday wood shampoo to the Memphis library.

Maybe the good folks would be happier if a rock was substituted for the manger? Better yet a crystal, ooops, no thats California....

You know, the old Christmas barn scene. It goes perfectly with the holiday tree. After all, its Xmas time! But wait, won't PETA be offended by the enslaved animals? and how about the Green party and the killing of innocent trees?
at least they didnt showcase a crucified santa claus like they did in Japan!
