I Wish
I wish people were as adamant about keeping our jobs from going overseas, improving our standards of public education and health care as they are about protecting the sanctity of what has become a undeniably corrupted holiday.

If an individual were a true Christian, the birth, life, and resurrection of Christ would be something that is importantly not only on one day of the year but every day, every hour, every minute, and every single second of the day. If a man is “savior” of the human race, you’d think that people would follow his message very closely to make themselves worthy in his presence. You’d think that they’d embrace peace and justice for all, health care for all, feeding and clothing the door, etc. In other words, if Jesus really is the son of God then they’d break their backs to obey every thing he says instead of picking and choosing what to believe and what not to.

I think if people were really Christians, they wouldn’t support obviously questionable morals in government (wars for profit, oil, torture, bears having sex with little girls), continual environmental sabotage, erosion of tolerance, etc.

I just wish people were as adamant about things that are important in the world instead of whether or not a seasonally employed, underpaid greeter at JCPenney says, “Seasons greetings,” or “Merry Christmas.”

Sorry for the rant. I am simply frustrated about the willingness of the American people to focus their attention on things that aren't important.

1. Don't interject logic into a perfectly crafted Pavlovian response!
Without this and the air marshall story, people might be paying attention to Delay going to trial and Rove nearing indictment. Now hush with that well-thought-out reasoning and talk about American Idol!

Bears should just keep their hands off of all humans.

5. Denial is
a big symptom of a big problem. The U.S. has a big "Christian" integrity problem.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

6. As Steven Colbert constantly reminds us, bears are dangerous
animals and we shouldn't try to have sex with them.
