This was a pretty funny story, actually:
There’s a six-ton granite monument on the steps of the Dixie County courthouse. County officials approved the placement of the slab, which features the Ten Commandments. Atheists and Agnostics around the country are decrying the move, calling it the most flagrant violation of church and state separation since Judge Roy Moore refused to remove a similar monument from an Alabama courthouse. Now, the atheists and agnostics threaten lawsuits. But they’ve got a problem. So far, they’ve been unable to find anybody in this town of about 17,000 residents who takes issue with the monument and is willing to lend their name to the suit.
Von and Delma Perrine of Old Town saw news of Dixie County's new six-ton granite 10 Commandments monument on television while on vacation in Ohio, so once they got home they decided to go to the Dixie county Courthouse to see it in person. "I wouldn't mind having it on my own property," said Delma Perrine. "It's a good reminder."
