Some fancy pants politician just recently said, that instead of something being done to the famous Made in Oregon light up sign with a deer on it, or instead of just keeping it the way it is, we should just take it down. She said that her reasoning behind this, was the fact that the deer is of course a symbol of christmas and so it might offend people of different religions.
Last time i checked deers don't have a whole lot to do with the birth of Christ.
Personally it seems like changing the sign so that it says anything other than what it has said for such a long time, is just silly. Like taking Powells bookstore, and changing it to the Portland state bookstore. It's a landmark and changing it jsut confuses people, and makes the ones who actually knew what it was before it changed, just not want to live here for fear of having all the famous landmarks changed.
That's my opinion though.
Stay pretty

It started out as the 'White Stag' logo for the company by the same name. I used to love it when they put the red nose on at Christmas time. Back when pterodactyls flew the earth.
