Drawing The Line in Duluth

May 18, 2004

I believe we can manage to uphold religious faith on our own, without seeking any stamp of approval from government. So do some folks in Duluth, Minnesota.

According to a recent federal court settlement, a monument of the Ten Commandements will have to leave City Hall grounds in the old home of Bobby Zimmerman (a.ka. Bob Dylan).

Duluth will never be the same. Blame those big-city slickers from the St. Paul ACLU, and hard-headed Duluth atheists.

The real market test comes now: will a private buyer rescue the monument, and move it to a suitable spot? Like, say, on a church's grounds?

In point of fact, isn't Mr. Zimmerman from Hibbing rather than Duluth?

Bobby Zimmerman (a.k.a. Bob Dylan) was born in Duluth and lived his first six years there...he did live in Hibbing also, and graduated from high school there. You are right though, I think Hibbing is more often referred to as his hometown.
