Is there fine print in Freedom of Religion that I don't know about?!

If you think that putting up a mosque anywhere near the ground zero and having the inauguration on the anniversary 09/11/11, is immoral, inhumane and a complete lack of respect for the memories of all that perished there on that day and the survivors. If you believe that's doing a grave....injustice to the fallen heros..., their families, let alone the entire country. THEN COPY AND PASTE THIS TO YOUR WALL

This is the status that set me off! All this talk of the mosque is really getting on my last nerve! It's not just a mosque it's a cultural center as well! Yes it's going to be built in NYC and it's going to be near Ground Zero, but not as close as people think. It's going to be a few blocks away. Also the 'inauguration' date isn't going to be 09/11/11, it's a date that was thrown out there to make people get fired up more! Also people say it's immoral and inhumane, if you take a look at our 1st Amendment one of our freedoms is Freedom of Religion. In my eyes telling someone they can't build a place of worship just because of events that happened in the past is immoral and inhumane. It's going against our 1st Amendment. Also what gets me really mad is when someone tries to say something about what good may come of it people automatically accuse them of not being an American and tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't make them all of a sudden non american. People have a right to their own opinion. America is a free country, lets keep it that way!

The Beginning of a New Chapter!

Stepping off the plane, on a rainy afternoon, on May 7th, 2010 was one of the most nerve wracking things we've experienced! Jonathan and I were in a new country, new surroundings for both of us! We were so overwhelmed from all the signs in japanese and the face we were on the opposite side of the road in the car! There was so much we had to get used too! We made new friends the first few days while here! I knew Dora and Sam already through Brittanie but Jonathan hit off well with them! Also we became fast friends with our sponsor and his family! Well lets fast forward a couple weeks. It's now May 25th, 2010 and we're now living in a spaceous two bedroom apt overlooking a beautiful view of the beach! Jonathan and I have both eaten sushi! (I love it, he's still getting used to it) Jonathan has tried curry and loves it! I haven't tried it yet. We're also still trying to get used to using chopsticks! We are both getting used to driving on the other side of the road! Jonathan has been getting alot of practice since he drives to work now and I will be getting my car tomorrow. We are enjoying our time here and we plan to do lots of traveling! :) I hope to keep you guys well up to date on our life here! We miss you and love you all!
