A Karmic Christmas

Not that I see any real evidence for this alleged war on Christmas anyway, but to the extent that Christmas language has been homogenized, I can't say I feel too bad for that whiny minority of Christians dragging their bizarre persecution complexes around like a ball and chain. After all, a big part of their complaint is that inoffensive, euphemistic language has made a mockery of the Christmas season. Sheesh, welcome to my world. Inoffensive, euphemistic language has been ruining television and radio for me since I was about eight years old. Until I can watch Goodfellas uncensored on ABC or see the occasional female breast on network TV I'm not likely to get all up in arms about holiday trees and generic presidential greeting cards. I don't know what made these goofs think they could screw around with controlling speech and not have it come around to bite them in the ass, but all I have to say to them is "Happy Holidays."
