Denigration of own manifestation!!!

Her countenance on ‘my proposal’ made me really happy. I was expecting this because she was very positive from the day 1 of our meeting. Of course, my craven fear of her rejection made me shy in first few days though. I never forget that my doer and dream very often squeeze like a cabbage on my own credulous nature. Spilling oddness of life for the sake of purgation and purification of mind as in Greek tragedy should not make me accountable. I know I can’t be culpable for anything of such nature which is done intentionally to nourish positive vibration. Yes, absolutely for positive vibration! Let’s think I deserve blame on her eyes, what would be the punishment? Just be away from her, right? My shattered hopes will be pushed further away and I will place mattress and foam of love around my heart to damp her echo of distant past. Her daunting compassionate of getting wrapped around me by mid January afternoon at State park is overwhelming and impossible. Only because, I need now! I might not need later one, who knows? Please don’t get me wrong though. My love is not postmodern nature of love where all formulas are applied and nothing is due in connection and turning off the switch of love! I may not be actually end up only on reality as I am not dearth of anything whatsoever, and I can’t fall down mid-way through in a complete debacle. Of course, debacle without hope and imagination that was bestowed even in my blunder and failure must be far away for my own decorum and dignity! I can’t take offence of her any action. Also, I can’t further excuse her pinky fingers that did not only feel my superficiality but passed through my secondary imagination from couch to coffee house. I can’t demur does not mean I am left without feeling! Yes, it is denigration of own manifestation of love! All I can say:

Numerous bits of apology
excerbarated fears in isolation
dry and brittle faded album memory
surely pound and combine me
Your generation will behold your saga summary!
Yes, they will through your disaphonous eyes
In derivative of romance towers of ivory
Swings and disapper in horizon
Your efforts of all life long desultory
that pummel myself and each attic lover!

Living in Handscuffs!!!!

Imagine putting own stamp on war like thousands deployed American solders across the globe. Ask question “will I come with a solution of all the formidable challenge amid of war mess around the globe where American flag is at avant-garde. The life and mind have always very slippery side. We are twisted by situation and circumstances than anything else. Our action which start without purpose turn to be shakeup for life. The life story is almost like currently bail out American banks. Real tragic! Get going is only option left on parking lot! A voice can be a last word of entire life any time. It is because pains are our partners! Imagine not being able to see next sunlight! It is real hard. Most of the time a man comforts his shortcoming holding hope for future. Lock in future is only option left for today! Leave things alone, however they approach you in a split second. I listen in on my own voice within my positive vibration and fight and get going! Despite all logistics, few and far between are ready to accept whatever tragedy appears down the road. Reality is- only bilking pain makes one knowledgeable. True. Like a pencil bears pain of sharpening to be better, we have to bear suffering to be a better person. Agreed on parable! However, if we do not celebrate during the process of suffering, we have no time to realize refurbished life! Living in handcuffs and leaving in happiness are almost identical in a long run. The only measuring rod is powerful imagination of warrant letter within! We are working hard and waiting to receive a warrant letter! One greater than Federal or any government of the world can issue! To make it easy going, let’s celebrate pain. In fact, if we do not we will get the meaningless warrant like thousands get everyday Fight for great warrant, live on pile of warrants in life!

Why American schools do not allow religious prayer at school?

Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe and Religious prayer in American Public Schools

Religious prayer in Public schools has become very fascinating topic for my research because from hither to society, the conflict between religion and state government has been a very important issue across the globe. The countries which were very much radical on religious issues for decades also have been adopting very secular thought and claim themselves a part of global community. However, the constant conflict between the state and religion has been always in existence particularly in public school education. During the 14th Century, the education system in the west was primarily dominated by Christianity. The rule of Pope dominated the rule of the state for a long time. The voice of secularism was noticeably marginal. Getting inspiration from the same point, I have published a book entitled “Affirmation of communal Strength” in 2002 researching artistic works written from subaltern point of view. As I joined John Hopkins University, Prof. Rembold Law class inspired me to research on one of the topics that deals with religion in public school.
The first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that says: ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof clearly defines the secular state policy’. These two provisions are commonly referred to as the ‘religion clauses.’ The ‘Establishment Clause’ prohibits government from promoting or opposing religion. In the mean time, the ‘Free Exercise Clause’ protects the right to believe in and practice religion. However, it is sometime very ambiguous in certain situation to pinpoint whether governmental involvement in particular situation is a promotion of religion or interference against religion. The judicial interpretation of clauses in different context and situation is very interesting and logistic that embodies the spirit of first amendment. In this light I critically observed almost 50 years major issues from McCollum v. Board of Education (March 8, 1948) to Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe (June 19, 2000) that deals with religion in public school system. Out of 18 ruling of Supreme Court and hundreds more of the lower federal and state court projects the secular stands point of the government. Among these all ruling, I find Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe (June 19, 2000) case very controversial to observe from the perspective of establishment and constitutional clause. The court invalidated a school district’s policy allowing an elected student to lead pre-game prayers over the school stadium’s public address system. The Court reaffirmed the importance of protecting religious minorities from majority rule. “Fundamental rights may never be submitted to vote,” Justice John Paul Stevens wrote for the majority, “they depend on the outcome of no elections.” Gillentine author and a long time moderator of the Oklahoma and Mississippi state associations in a journal ‘Prayer at Atheletic Events’ opines, “In general, court cases hold that prayer is acceptable if it is student initiated and led without being promoted or endorsed by school officials and consider prayer to be a violation of the First Amendment if it is sponsored, prompted, or endorsed by school officials. However Gillentine argument contrasts on this case if we ignore the context. Therefore, the research paper will deal with this issue considering the epoch, history and environment on which basis t, My paper, moreover, will analyze the context on which basis student’s initiated prayer was invalidated. Moreover, I will comparatively study the major cases including Engel V. Vitale, Abington Township V. Schempp, Wallace v. Jaffree and many other previous courts decision on school prayer

Questions:
How those eighteenth-century words are never been uncontested? Are these words represents the embodiment of the final truth forever in US constitution? Should the religion clauses apply only to the federal government, or to state and local governments, too?
How federal case look upon the community values regarding the prayer at football games in its verdict?
What does strongly worded majority opinion symbolizes for the future cases of similar nature?
Does this verdict declare devotional practices on other school- sponsored activities outside the classroom unconstitutional?
Why did two U.S. courts of appeals render opposite opinions devotional practices on Adler v. Duval Country school Board case?
Are schools intentionally engaged in religious activities prohibited by the Court?
