Didn't think about...I looked it up and it's field...

I dunno - he's also said this:

"While recently listening to a radio program about how the United States government is protecting the eggs of sea turtles and some rare marine birds, a question occurred to me: Doesn't the property owner have the right to destroy any eggs he finds on his property, if he wants to? After all, those eggs really aren't turtles or birds or anything else except unviable tissue masses. Heck, the property owner could even cut off the little critters' heads as they hatch, provided they weren't all the way out of the shell. It's all a matter of choice."

It is very fishy.

Now that is worth posting.

He might conclude that this country worships the changing of the seasons, as everyone says "Seasons Greetings" to each other and symbolic snowflakes are hung on lampposts

Or he might land at the Carnegie Deli and conclude that these dudes make one AWESOME pastrami sandwich.

Aha! The plot thickens!

"Or he might land at the Carnegie Deli and conclude that these dudes make one AWESOME pastrami sandwich."

Yeah, but will he get linen?

Nothing more painful than bad writing. Ok, maybe bad writing and no wit.

Don't forget to add the misspelling of Christmassssssss to that list!

Crawling out of the woodwork today, it seems.

[Larry Lucido]

Libertarian, huh? :-)

Maybe our ET would land in Billings and conclude that all libertarians are blue.

You other posters are all nuts. There's a lot of food for thought in this. You know, I never before read a drunken liberal critique of Christmas that said some hypothetical alien would find some human behavior peculiar. This is REALLY eye-opening. I'm seeing things in a whole new way. What a truly original, insightful message. You coming here to FR has really, really made an impact. In fact, your post will probably start reversing that silly "Merry Christmas" trend. Great work!

Favors must stop

Congress wants to close the final “free speech loophole” left by its earlier campaign finance reform emasculation of the First Amendment. Rather than answer the “527” organizations, politicians want to shut them down.
There is a simple solution to the problem of campaign finance excesses which would also solve budget deficits, high taxes and general corruption — and until this single, simple solution is adopted, we will never really fix any of these problems.
We must reduce the number of favors government hands out. As long as government takes one person’s money and gives it to another, makes rules benefiting one group over another, or issues contracts enriching some people with taxes collected from others, then people will continue to buy influence, politicians will continue to sell votes, and special interest groups will continue to manipulate laws, budgets and media. Citizens not only get stuck footing the bills, but they also get pitted against each other.
And as long as government has favors to distribute, there will be competition for those favors.

NO WAY did the same Paul Broshear write the above LTE in the Washington Times as the missive about spacemen and Chistmass. It is Ray Sansom.

And an "r".

Say, Good Ole Paul, one would like to know why it is okay to bash Christian traditions and question the relevance to the religion.

One does not seem to hear the same protestations regarding Islamic traditions and whether they are scripturally sound.

But I am sure that atheists and people of other religons alike partake of the charitable Christmas giving.

[Darkwolf377]

Your post lacks a certain...everything.

LOL! Now THAT's pithy.

I need a monitor cleaning. I've never seen a blue libertarian before.

IB4TZ ?

[Larry Lucido]

What are you, a pirate? Okay, and an arrrr to you, too!

[nopardons]

Troll; or a kid.

[Larry Lucido]

Yea, but that's almost directly out of Ayn Rand's "The Pull Peddlers," so just about anyone could have cut and pasted it.
