>>>>So, hypothetically, you would keep building schools and add special wings to buildings to satisfy all who want special treatment. Man that's tough. I hope you can bear the cost.

>>>As you note, it's hypothetical, Sam. We don't build schools for Jehova's Witnesses just because they don't salute the flag. We don't build special schools for Sikhs who wear knives to school. But nakedness is a touchy subject and would need something different. Remember, he said Canada had agreed to accept thousands, including their children.

>>Yup it's only hypothetical, but the fact that that's your solution is what puzzles me.

>We would surely know their special needs before we did invite them. I suppose we could have invited them with a '...but your kids who need to go to school naked because of your religious beliefs cannot be honoured...', but that would amount to an "invite" where a 'thanks but no thanks' was expected. That is, not an invite at all, but rather an attempt to look concerned while wanting rejection.

The immigration department and the justice department don't communicate with each other. That's why people who are deported for crimes are able to return here. Immigration may have knowledge of their "special needs", but do they consult the justice system as to whether the special need will be met or not?

Honestly, some special group lobbied and raised funds to buy this ruling and we cannot do likewise.

Did I ever tell you about my experience with jury duty? The great experts you're supporting have a wonderful system in place. The take the names of the prospective jurors, put them on 3 x 5 cards, sort them alphabetically and put them into a 4 x 6 hexagonal drum where they are sorted by spinning. There is no way for cards that big to shuffle in a drum that small. I pointed this out to the guards. The agreed. In order to change this, I'd have to hire an army of lawyers.

The "experts" cannot get that right. They cannot construct a system where intelligence is applied to particular problems, even in their own system. In fact, I was told, even if I was rich and had lawyers aplenty, the chances of getting that changed were very slim.

You're welcome to go on believing in your so-called experts. To me they are every bit as capable of being fools as any one else. Worse, they have shielded themselves behind screens of virtue.
