Holiday tree, you know I grew up in a town where every other month there was some sort of religious tension between Jews and Catholics, Catholics and Fundamentalists, fundamentalists and Jews etc… We had a Christmas tree on the lawn of the high school, but no menorah, so the Jews got mad, so they got one. Then the Fundamentalists went and put a brick in front of the high school that said “Jesus is lord of this school” and the Jews got mad, and it was removed. So then the Fundamentalists go ahead and put up a big sign on the outskirts of the village that said “Welcome to (town) where Jesus is not welcome”.

Where am I going with this you ask? Well in a society that demands political correctness I cant blame anyone for calling it a “holiday tree” because you know, it’s not the Jews, or the Muslims, or any other religion besides the Fundamentalist Christians that have the problem. And we have never heard so much about crap like this as we have in the last 8 years. Is it wrong for religion to demand equal representation? If there is a separation between church and state why would you accept one religion but not the others? So this pre-emptive holiday tree is awesome, it’s proving a point, and that point is that you cant make everyone happy, the sooner everyone gets that through their head the better off as a people we are going to be.
