*facepalm* Another clueless person makes another dimwit joke.

And the "namaste" is very much part of the culture of this board--from all the begging posts that include a namaste. But I can see why it gets old for you.

Every human (should be) independent, prosperous: confident: have their human rights: and have self respect:
Every human should have logic (powerful thought) and good thoughts, and every human should have brotherly aptitude with each other.
I'm really glad that it turned out so nicely... it could have been something that would have made them very confused about my moral programming (I did have to explain that this is not always in Sanskrit, and that the bracelet I had one year was "This guy Bob's gun camp for children")

They have no clue as to the original religious/philosophical text from which this might have been quoted?

Thank you very much! It is a very "western" joke and it might have gotten old for me.

"In the spirit of Fertility 2.0, we chose this text and language because they embody themes of creation and and basic elements of human life. The text is Article 1 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml). We chose a Sanskrit translation as it is one of the oldest human languages and is a foundation for many modern languages. And hopefully this mystery encouraged a little extra Communal Effort and Participation among those who wanted to figure out the meaning. Thanks to all of you who were curious!
