The Christmas Tree Versus The Holiday Tree

Ha Ha Ha

That's my simple answer on the whole thing, but if you want to get a bit deeper on the subject, here goes.

Why does someone buy a fir tree when December rolls around? Is it to, perhaps, celebrate a certain holiday named Christmas? Are people going to demand that Christmas be renamed to "Holiday"? A holiday named Holiday? What does "holiday" mean, anyways? Does it not mean "holy day"? Hey! It's Holy either way!

*Takes a breather from immature rhyming.*

What about products made for Hanukkah? Like the Hanukkah Dreidel? Are they going to rename it Holiday Dreidel? That's a bad example, but really. Who are they selling the products to? No one is offended to buy a fir tree called Christmas... but a boat load of people seem to be offended to buy a fir tree called Holiday.

These storesb have gone on the hot seat for their stand on being, what they call, politically correct. But virtually no one agrees with them. Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike think these stores have taken the issue two steps too far.

The minority needs to be protected. The minority needs to feel as safe in this country as the majority. I'm not talking about race here, either. In my mind, racist people should be stoned, and the whole race issue never be mentioned again. I'm talking about minority of views. Everyone should be able to scream out their beliefs without fear. But that's as far as it goes... the majority rules. This is just and it is right. This country is a democracy... led by the people, the majority. If this country were led by the minority, it would be as bad as being led by a royalty... or a dictatorship.

Bottom Line is Changing Modes. How bout' movies? I'm watching Batman Begins. Great movie.
