I few posts back I mentioned I was going to Jakara, a Sikh Conference in Freso, CA.  I was under the impression that it was a "meat market" and made the insensitive comment that the meat was spoiled.  I guess I had internalized statements that others had made about Jakara after I had told them I was going.  Interestingly enough, when I first met ( Read more... )
