Cayce: leaves the room
Cayce: returns
Cayce: Allright she is in a meeting at the moment and with our district manager so I will have to ...spoke with my supervisor. They said if you wish to do community service and you continue to wear that top there is only one group that they would send you to and that's the Satur
JohnB: No I will continue. I will continue with the community service work that I have. I will not have my community service order changed on somebody else's belief system. I will continue as arranged unless you have some reason that the ***
Cayce: But they're entitled to have that belief system have you
JohnB: Sure. And if they have a problem with that take it to Lifeline.You have posters out the front here. Talk to her priest or minister that's a religious matter. That's not a matter for my government to become involved in.
JohnB: Now the fact that does have the potential for some people. This is a community service shirt. I have worn this shirt. There are people hundreds and hundreds of them around the world wearing them.
Cayce: but you're saying that your rights are more important than hers ..
