the whole chritsmas season has been converted into secular commercialized nonsense. the whole government -media-industrial complex has created a patriotic gift giving holiday where the govt. and media daily cheerleads us into spending to help the economy and keepthe unemployment rate down.
whats next ,a similar holiday 6 months later? how about converting july 4 into a gift giving holiday complete with -secular of course- with mythology related to gifts and tv specials to excite children to nag their parents to spend what little disgressionary income on nonsense. we can create an icon such as abald eagle that flies to good childrens home to give gifts so that kids will be shameless in their demands- why not" Earnie the Eagle". just think the profits for retailors -2 xmas a year.
Merry Christmas and Welcome to Free Republic!
Typso ping, plus "No you're homophones" and "My kingdom for a Shift Key!"
And a Happy Rainy Monday to you all!
