[QUOTE="JimRinX, post: 106521, member: 6872"] Mai ji It's good to hear you say that it made you stronger and, hopefully, not as bitter as many would have become. This may seem to digress from the subject of this thread to some; but for me it's appropriate because, though I never want to see anyone - Sikh, or otherwise - be made to demean themselves of their beliefs for nearly any reason, I'm nonetheless fascinated to see, and learn how, Sikhs have been dealing with one of the unfortunate consequences of our Great Experiment in Melting-pot-ism. I believe that the Bill of Rights, the first ten (or so) Ammendments of the American Constitution - which give both the Freedom to practice whatever Faith one choses, or none at all, by preventing the State from 'Establishing' one Religion over another [B]- [/B]is one of THE Great Works of Political Thinking. Unfortunately; Being absolutely forbiden to "Establish" a Religion, means - at least in the things that Government deals with (Drivers Licenses & Public Schools Included!) - the Government MUST NOT give in to the urge to allow [I][U]anything[/U][/I] to happen, during these activities or procedures that are sponsored or run by said Government, that might be perceived as favoring one Belief over another. Once THAT Cat got out of the bag.....what next? The Grand Inquisitor of The United States summoning us to the State Torture Chambers? Do you think Joe McCarthy would have minded - if we'd let him? Look at how the Catholic handled the Sex Scandal - would you want to see that kind of thing permeating all of Officialdom? You see, in European History, is has done just that; and it's because the Founding Fathers knew this that they made these Laws - not to tick Sikhs off. Though I've only lost loved ones through Cancer, etc., I too have had Brain Trauma; as a Cyst broke through my brain pan in 2007, and I awoke from Surgery completely paralyzed on my Left side. This was bad, as my Neuropathy (the Painful kind) had already been slowly paralyzing my Right hand for years, and without a Lefty...... Fortunately, a little Medicine Buddha Mantra-ing, a little stubborness (I fell and jerked the drain tube out of my SKULL, trying to get to the john myslef! Now that's what I call STUBBORN!), and some cashing in of my Good Karma, and the full use of my left limbs came back; though I do have to take Dilantin for Seizures from now on. What I'm looking forward to, after I fix my legal problems (and a very broken FBI!), is the New Dawn of the Medical Marijuana Movement here in the USA; as Obama has told the DEA to get off our back. You see, I QUIT Oxycontin and METHADONE - YES, I said Methadone (the hardest Drug to quit, ever!) - by replacing them with Good Old Pot; which is so much easier on ones systems, has almost NO side effects, and doesn't (Ahem) take away that part of me that NO MAN wants to lose - like Methadone surely does; though I had to go back on this nasty stuff because messing with me on that one, without a more 'solid' footing under Federal Law (Oregon has a State Law allowing it - but that doesn't matter to the Fed, if they wanna get at ya), was 'low hanging fruit' for the NAZI's I mentioned. Someday it'll be 'safe' for me to wear my 'Handicapped' T-shirt again - the one were the wheelchair has morphed into an easy chair, and the guy in it is smoking a bong and watching TV!:cool: [/QUOTE]
