Christmas Trees are a symbol of Christmas, they are a symbol of Christianity. It has nothing to do with them being in the bible or not. We can have a stupid conversation here, that amounts to no more than obfuscation, but a Christmas tree is not just another plant, Ms Rhodes is not just gross, she is a bigot. Christians should not have to watch bigots like her do their thing, while being lashed endlessly for acts of bigotry perpetraded against non-christians. Any less than even handed enforce ment of theese laws is no better than Jim Crowism or the Nuremburg Laws of Nazi Germany. Ms Rhodes needs to live by the rules she proposes for others, namely tolerance and respect. We need to insist that our governments not selectively promote bigotry by enforcing laws unevenly. The Christmas Tree is the focal point of the main Christian Holiday, it has a definate secular side to it, if that is your point, but that changes nothing. Again, the "Christmas Tree", so named because it is part of the holiday "Christmas", so called because it is the day (not really) of Christ's birth. It is a Christian thing...to pee on it is not just peeing on a plant, anymore than turning over Jewish tombstones is just rolling a rock, or burning a cross on a blackmans yard is just roasting hot dogs.

My guess is that Randi was so drunk that she urinated on the nearest available object in sight. It could have been a Christmas tree or an orchid or a birthday cake.
