Second response to the article

Even though I already have responded, I feel there is more for me to say. I dont think that the leaves should be banned or outlawed because it is a part of a religion, and an ancient tradition. You cant just tell someone to stop being catholic, or you cant just tell them to stop praying. If it is something that they have grown up with and come to know and love and do on a daily basis, then it shouldnt matter what it does. Someone who may not practice the same thing may not accept it, and thats fine, but as far as the leaves go, I do not think that it should be banned from the country.

Once again, back to what I wrote yesterday, its not easier for an outsider to accept a tradition that a group of people may have been practicing all their lives. But thats only what I think.
