Note regarding saying or posting “Xmas”
in advertising/shopping controversy:
Happy hana-kwanz-mas!!errr….never mind
“Merry Xmas” or “Happy Holidays”- which is it? When people go to the store, darn it, they want – no they demand the right greeting. And upon checkout, the appropriate farewell address should also jibe with what is felt is the way it should be done. Forget poverty, war, social security, corporate imperialism, destruction, disease, dairy and pharmaceutical control of congress – by golly – people need to be greeted/farewelled properly!
Currently, “Labor Day” is a day set aside by congress to honor “workers” which, however, excludes the “unemployed.” Should there be an “Unemployed Day” also on the calendar or should people start calling it “Occupation Day” (is ‘unemployed’ an occupation, though?)?
Also “Memorial Day” remembers the dead. But what about the living? Should there be a “Forgetful Day” to forget our relatives still living? Or should it be “Forgetful/Memorial Day” instead and both parties satisfied?
What about “Happy (or should it be ‘Merry’) “Kwanzaa Day” or “Happy/Merry Ramadan Day”? When will congress recognize these people (although they are “just a minority”)! But once you start letting these people drink out of the same water fountain and riding in the front part of the bus, it becomes a snowball effect upon all of “white, christian society” who “founded this great country” (forget about the handful of “Indians” that survived “america” - the 100 million dead in 513 short years of “The Great Dying”).
What about the “after xmas white sale” – what should that become next.
Hey, Blacks have “Black History Month” – how about “Color/non-Color History Month” instead (so the whites aren’t abused).
And yeah, what about the Indigenous Red People – they also just have “a month” – misnamed “native american” to remember them, but no day off, how sad is that!? It’s their land – but they don’t even get a day!! (It could be said, “With Indians that was a long time ago”, but then the Indians might say back, “So is the U.S. Constitution [which protects their Treaties, gold, coal, resources] AND the bible [which says “thou shalt not kill”]). Hmmm, better think about that one for a while before anything is done differently there.
Anyway, with every day “celebrated” for every “cause” (can’t everyone just believe like me – that every day is a holy day and every meal a feast [I mean, come on!!]!) – soon there will be no work at all all year long!
It is felt that this last option is probably the best thing that can be done at this point.
