"My name is Mohammed. Mohammed Williams."
So-ho-ho?
Festivus!
Still, some of them might. Possibly the Inari and the Skolt could pull it off by comparing their traditional culture which includes following migratory reindeer to that of the Arabs whose traditional culture includes following migratory goats.
A Sa'ami traditional shaman could probably get off the hook, but the Africanized people to the South have done so much to that tradition the federales would think it was just another Santa Claus schtick.
The ultimate test would be what happens in Europe. There, the last 500 Skolt speakers are subjected to intense medical scrutiny by the national health services of Russia, Finland and Sweden. They can't turn around to pull up their shorts they don't have a NHS type taking samples of their stool.
The results of these studies show up as great scientific works focusing mainly on liver function and dentistry.
There's a group in Florida who identify themselves as one of those Church of the First Born outfits, and they wear Amish style clothing. But they don't fool me ~ but they might trick IRS.
The duct tape helps keep the chunks together when ones head explodes.
Thanks VERY much for posting, Bobkk47!
Oh, and thanks yooling. I forgot to thank you for your post. My sentiments exactly!
Fixed it for you...
UNCONSTITUTIONAL! If Muslims can opt out, and Amish can opt out, then ANYONE should be able to opt out.
This absolutely knocks the wind out of me. This is NOT upholding separation of church and state. Is the census also considered “haram?”
