A matter of religious freedom, Napoleon? A matter of freedom that I am forced to carry the mark of a religion that I regard with distaste and resentment? Circumcision is the ultimate act of religious coercion, not freedom. An infant is not a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, an atheist, until mature enough to know what that term means and believe or disbelieve from his/her own intellect. I'm stuck with a "property of the Abrahamic Covenant" symbol etched into my skin that I regard with something bordering on loathing every time I enter a shower. If Uncle Sam had prevented this wicked and barbaric superstition, I would have been eternally grateful.
Edit: sorry for the rant, but you've hit one of my very, very few issues that still provokes an emotional response.
Blame your mom.......in fact Sunday would be a very cool day to discuss it.
