Debate over roadside shrines
Annie Laurie Gaylor of the Freedom From Religion Foundation
"There's this tendency to litter our landscape with crosses without considering whether this is the best way to memorialize your loved one. We can all feel sorrow about a roadside accident, but do we have to be preached at every time we drive by?"
-- Annie Laurie Gaylor, co-president of the Freedom From Religion Foundation in Madison, Wis., commenting on roadside memorials placed in memory of victims of traffic fatalities. She was quoted by USA Today.

People have different ways to grieve. People need to take that into consideration. I found most people against them were people whome haven't been through/ people close to roadside crashes. I am not though totally for them, I believe there should be rules put on it. Eg. A time limit and sizes.
