Ok this IS my last post on this subject (to the list;-)) actually I had
expected much more fall out over my comments, my point was to illustrate
that every one has something they are sensitive to, the Jews and the
holocaust is always a hot topic so seamed to be the perfect subject, I guess
not, (lack of fall out) in my state there have been law suites filed against
school students singing songs about Christ and Christianity at Christmas
time, and wile some may find those songs offensive, I am offended by those
law suites, so perhaps its time to be just a little tolerant of others
beliefs, and stop worrying about our own selfish selves and what might
offend us!
If a person reads back to the beginning of this thread they might understand
my point.
So happy festivus for the rest of us!!

Ok. I shouldn't have weighed in on this topic at all. As a non-
believer, I should have let the believers duke it out to see how much
bandwith they could consume before they ran out of megabytes. Perhaps
(may we hope?) that will happen soon!

This thread is not only off topic, it's becoming ridiculous. Nobody
is telling anyone not to say Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah, or
whatever they want to say. The so called "attack on Christmas" is an
invention of right-wing talk radio and TV. It simply doesn't exist.
I think you might be somewhat sheltered from the "attack on Christmas "
In my travels at work, I am a computer field service rep I am wished
Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays by receptionists and other
personnel. When I reply "Merry Christmas" I am often told that they
were told that they can't say that anymore since someone may be
offended.. Sorry about that. It is the Christmas "season" or "holiday"
whether they say Christmas or not.
As one of the "right wing talk radio" guys once said, "I am a POOPhead,.
People Offended by Offended People". When they try to stop me from
saying Merry Christmas because I am forcing my beliefs on them they
completely overlook the fact that they are trying to force their beliefs
on me.
And now, back to photography......
Merry Christmas every one
