The main point is not the legal principle of the act, but rather one's ability not to care. If you're not Christian and you see a little nativity scene in front of the fire house as you're driving through on your way to a "Holiday" bash in a larger city, don't call the ACLU. While you might be right in the general principle of government impartiality towards religion, the fact that you're getting to make a huge ruckus about something like that and let it distract you from drinking bourbon mixed with egg nog while your friends sing holiday songs around the fire wearing awful sweaters is more an indictment of your character than that of the head of the fire precinct.

And not removing an "offending" Nativity scene merely indicts someone is a petty sniveling douche.  I certainly wouldn't go to court and waste tax payers money over something like that.

I could probably concur with that. I personally would never have a nativity on government property, seeing as I hate moving blow molds, and would, I admit, have the same attitude towards removing them. Hopefully, if I were the executive, I could just order some underlings to do the real work.
