License check

Re “Religious license,” Opinion, June 21

The cartoon poking fun at South Carolina’s new Christian license plates made its point. However, the (Vermont) Buddhism plate used the yin-yang symbol of Taoism instead of the eight-spoked wheel of Buddhism, and the Hindu sacred word “Om” rather than a Buddhist prayer such as the Nembutsu.

Nor will Mormons be pleased at being called “weird” on the Utah plate. I would have preferred “HOLSUM” with the bugling Angel Moroni symbol and the words, “Got tithes?”
