A Memorial Day true story.......
My grandson(LEO,6'2") drove me and Maggie to Sam's club to get some last minute stuff for Memorial Day's outing at my daughters house......He got Maggie's power cart out and I got my walker ready to trail after her while he parked the car.......As I headed towards the entrance a few young muslim men(3,ranging from late teens to early 20's) stopped to comment on my OBL T-shirt and how inappropriate it was of me to wear something that degrades muslims.......Maggie noticed they stopped and started heading towards me,while my grandson started running towards me also.....I told them that the only people who would be offended is the taliban and is that a problem with you guys,and I started to head towards the entrance again......By that time my grandson was there,Maggie and several tattooed rednecks wanted to know if these assholes were giving me any trouble........ They quickly headed towards their own car and took off like a bat out of hell(  ),several times this shirt has gotten comments,but this is the first time it was negative.......

Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not....
