Even Mr.Sims with his PC Grinch edict suggests "Winter Holiday." You don't suppose he is unaware that the root word for "Holiday" is Holy Day do you? BWAHAHA.

I suggest the residents of King County and all King county government offices should remain open since they are not celebrating anything that would offend anybody.Oh, and the schools should remain in session. Just tell the kids you don't want to offend anybody. All the working stiffs might as all well go into work and keep the economy moving!

With the post September 11 tragedy climate and the religious holidays starting...

The muslim terrorists have won their battle if they succeed in silencing the Christians and Jews in our country.

Here is what I sent :

If every county followed your lead and allowed only 'religion-neutral' and 'sensitive' celebrations, then every county's celebration would be identical, thus resulting in total homogeneity rather than diversity. Actually, this attitude would require banning any holiday celebration.

I just sent a blank e-mail with the subject line: "Merry Christmas and God Bless America/Happy Birthday Jesus".

Even if not opened, message gets across.

Oh wait, I forgot to mention to them that I won't be visiting there and spending money any time soon.

How can Christmas be religious neutral. It is about the birth of the Son. It is the basis of Christianity.

I sent this to Ron Sims Comment box:
What kind of insanity is this? Is your police department going to arrest carollers singing "Silent Night," or "Away in a Manger"?? They are verboten, right?
The sad thing is that if you were living in New York City instead of Washington state, you'd have quite a different perspective about how you chose to celebrate Christmas this year, especially because of 9/11. I feel sorry for you. I hope that bunch of idiots all get switches in their stocking this year!

this has to be about the gayest thing I've ever heard.
Wilkommen ins Seattle! Sensitivity Uber Alles!

Makes me feel a little sheepish about griping about the fruits, nuts, nimnulls and morons in Cali, when we have so many of our homegrown ones on the west-side.
I shouldn't be surprized though, our state has a long "proud" history of this type of cranial-rectosis -(the wobblies, world sociliast worker crap. hippies, green nuts, limosine-pinko-bellvueites, etc.)
It's disgustipatin'.

People should go all out in NYC on their Christmas and Chanukah displays. Let our homegrown pc taliban gnash their teeth to the nubs!

Keep in mind that the largest influx of new Americans is coming from chiefly Catholic/Christian nations in Central and South America. These people have a tendency to get just as PO'd as we "caucasians" do at those who would silence our most holy of holidays. These losers who want to silence us are being overwhelmed at this very moment and are just too darn slow to figure it out.

So for the 99% of you out there, not the .04%, not the .02%....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!,

FELIZ NAVIDAD

and FELIZ NATAL y'all!

What unmitigated bs! This Maria Batayola, Manager, Diversity Management Division, OHRM is strictly dead weight and seems to have nothing to do but stir up mischief.

Examples of religion-neutral practices include: naming the celebration(s) "Holiday Celebration" or "Winter Celebration;" using general greetings such as "Happy Holidays" or "Holiday Greetings;"

This is exactly how the communists tried to rename X-mas season in the many countries under their occupation. This attempt did not work THERE, and it will not work HERE! For the curious ones, Santa in the communist vocabulary was renamed as the Grandpa Freeze

Haven't been to downtown Seattle for many years. Do they still have a menorah in Westlake Mall where they won't allow a nativity scene?
