Keep in mind, I have no problem if I go to a meeting and am asked to pray with just bowing my head and remaining silent. I don't have to have my own special prayer. But then I'm a rational person, not a public douchebag. This Wiccan sounds like a douchebag with an axe to grind, which makes the fact that she's right even harder to swallow.
Like any other government-sponsored event, if you are going to allow one, you can't disallow another if someone wants it to be heard. All or none.
Or she, like several other Wiccans I know, is big with the 'act locally, think golbally' idea, and is sick of having a religion she has specifically rejected shoved down her throat when she comes to council meetings to shove her political principles down the council's throat. Which doesn't mean she isn't right, or that the city council won't spend lots of taxpayer and special interest dollars making a stink about this. Democracy in action.
"It was a difficult party" - an unexpected word combination from ex-Merry Prankster and author Robert Stone.
