Why be so flipant about this cursing stone. It is not the stone that one objects to but the words inscribed in the stone. Words are powerfull. Words can promote or words can destroy. We as an "enlightened society" on one hand, preach about speaking positively, to our children, and to each other,(our demigodery of Oprah and Dr. Phil testifies to that fact). If you doubt the power of words, ask any person about the impact that an unkind or thoughtless word spoken to them by a teacher or a parent have had on their life--the contrary is also true. Yet on the other hand we dispute about the virtue of putting up a stone upon which a curse is inscribe...why not inscribe #$**&^##@ (explicatives intended) on another stone and see if the fine people of this fair city will embrace that as well. The question which should have been asked on the survey should have been "Would you inscribe such a curse on a plaque and display these words as a curse over YOUR home and over YOUR family?" I think the figures would come back with the majority of people saying NO. Why would anyone desire such words of misfortune declared over the city in which their home and their family reside?
