1. Interesting idea
I have mixed feelings.
Planting a sacred grove might be nice.However I'd be more concerned that people might defile it.

I feel people shouldn't throw their religions into others' faces. I don't like it being done to me, so I don't want to do it to others.

4. We don't want to throw it in their faces,
we just want to make them realize that it's all well and good to have their religion represented, but only if EVERYONE'S religion is also represented.

2. An interesting idea.
You might want to take this to the people over at Witchvox:

http://www.witchvox.com/lx/lx_freedom.html



That page has links to over 75 online religious freedom groups that are working on the issue. I suspect that if you are gonna find online support and help for this THAT would be a good place to start.

Best of luck and brightest blessings!


Laura

5. jesus day as per the son of a bush...
"Governor George W. Bush, who signed a proclamation declaring June 10 to be Jesus Day in Texas, and has urged all Texans to "follow Christ's example by performing good works in their communities and neighborhoods," has also gone on record on ABC's GOOD MORNING AMERICA as stating he believes that witchcraft is not a legitimate religion. The comments made on June 24, 1999 were in response to the Army's decision to allow Wiccan practices on its bases. "I don't think witchcraft is a religion, and I wish the military would take another look at this and decide against it," he said."

6. Bush hasn't acted against Wicca in the military.
We're free to practice our religion, so I think I can safely say that his comments were simply pandering to the religious right.

8. Remember to smudge those lips first
Before allowing those lips to touch your ass, remember to first soak his head in salt water for at least a day and smudge thoroughly.

Can something so vile even be cleansed?
On second thought, It's best I think to avoid his kissing your ass at all cost.
