I can't imagine being surrounded by symbols that caused me enough mental anguish to be motivated to try to make them go away. I seem to be able to pick and choose what to allow myself to find offensive, but it seems for some people it may not be a matter of choice.

The state of California has an amazingly large number of place names associated with Catholicism. If I was bothered by the sight of a cross on a hill I don't think I could stomach living in a city named after a saint, in a state with a capitol called Sacramento.
