@hawkeye10,
I know for a fact that corporate America has secret meetings in which they conspire to remove all holiday traditions and substitute them with crass mercantile traditions. {eop[le are being dosed with microwaves that carry a message telling them to go fortrh and spend and buy crap for the next mercantile tradition (Christmas) where theyve already won the concept that it is possible to buy love from your family and friends by just plying them with useless gifts and trinkets.
