Merry Christmas.*
* unless of course, this offends you. In that case, let me urge you to get past it. America is made up of lots of different people with a variety of backgrounds and beliefs. By making us all merge into some watered down version of who we really are and desire to be, America loses its edge. It is the different ideas that make us special. The ability to express ideas and views and be ok with others doing the same is foundational in these United States. That in itself does not make all ideas right, but it does protect the right to share ideas, whether true or flawed. Our founding fathers made sure they expressly recorded and conveyed the right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion, and any movement trying to abridge these rights in order to glorify the newly coronated "right" to not be offended is without merit. So with that background, and with the warmest of thoughts for you at the end of the year, I wish you a very Merry Christmas.
