After all the blather about the Ten Commandments being the foundation for American law, I heard one legal commentator say that only two or possibly three really applied - "Thou shalt not kill" and "thou shall not steal" are obvious choices. "Thou shall not commit adultery" seems not to apply too broadly. Second term presidents are excluded, among most others.

"Thou shalt not covet thou neighbors house" definately doen't apply. That would shut down the entire real estate market, which continues to boom in most parts of the country.

So when the religious go on about the Ten Commandments being the foundation for American law, the right answer may be "well about 20% of the Ten Commandments apply and many politicians even overlook the 'thou shalt not steal ' commandment."
