All this PC posturing is killing me. I can’t stand all the stories about courthouses removing nativity scenes and schools having to drop “Merry Christmas” and adopt a very PC “Holiday Season”. All sides of this PC war are losing. Everyone is getting a black eye.
The non-Christians attack the displays on government property, The Christians respond with, “Jesus is the reason for the season”, the Atheists respond with, “No he’s not, the Earth’s 23�27′ tilt is the reason for the season” and it just gets into a big ugly fight.
Being a non-Christian, it doesn’t bother me to see a nativity scene or a “Merry Christmas” sign at the courthouse. In fact, I kind of miss those things. I’ve got more important things to worry about rather than which deity my state legislature bows to. I think PC has gone too far when people are getting into trouble for putting up a mini Christmas tree on their desk. This is the time of year that people should be getting onto trouble for photo-copying their boobs, drinking too much egg-nog at the company Christmas party and telling-off their boss!
I used to specialize my greetings with friends. I’d tell my Christian friends “Merry Christmas”, my Jewish friends, “Happy Hanukkah” and my Pagan friends, “Blessed Yule”. But no longer! I might be sued or worse, labeled as a resistance fighter in the PC war. So, close to giving up, saying screw the whole thing and adopting the general greeting, “Bah, humbug”, I’ve made one last attempt to conform in the new spirit of things;
“Merry Christma-Hanu-Kwanz-Rama-Yule-or not”
