I am more intrigued, frankly, that they had to nail the trees down to stop them moving.

I take it modern trees are way less frisky and inclined to wander?

Who knew?


ummmmmmm, nowadays, we just put 'em in restraints

Restraints?


No tree of mine needs restraining.


For real trees we traditionally use a big tub of sand, I think, and stick 'em in it.

okay, I'm just reading along and not getting involved, and this has nothing to do with the topic, but I gotta know-- what does Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday have to do with anything??

I'm afraid if I tell you, it would make you involved.

Just meditate on Val.

Some Megachurches Closing for Christmas By RACHEL ZOLL, AP Religion Writer
15 minutes ago

This Christmas, no prayers will be said in several megachurches around the country. Even though the holiday falls this year on a Sunday, when churches normally host thousands for worship, pastors are canceling services, anticipating low attendance on what they call a family day.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051206/ap_on_re_us/closed_on_christmas

first "holiday," and now "family day." America is being haunted by the spectre of secularism.

Perhaps you have a definition of racism which does not mean preference for one's own and discomfort with the other.


That's a bit light.

I would suggest it's the belief that a given race is superior to others or a given race is inferior to others. Although unlikely, it's possible for a black man to be a white supremacist. The given race one believes is superior need not be one's own.

Depicting Jesus or The Buddha as a member of one's nationality or race does not imply a belief that one's nationality or race is superior to others, or that the other races or nationalities (even if historically accurate) are inferior.

It may signal a narrow perspective and/or a comfort with the familiar, but its a stretch to conclude that it is racism.
