Reply #61: Exactly! If I get sick should I boycott a hospital on the holiday???

[Javaman]

Once upon a time I worked for a company that require us to be open during the holidays. Many of those who worked those hours were non-catholics or non-christians. And they didn't mind it at all. They got triple time for working a national holiday. I am a catholic and had to work. Did I boycott my company? Nope. I liked working there and it was a part of the job.
So next time you throw a stone at K-mart for staying open till 9pm, think about all the people that have to work to keep the hospitals running, your sewers operating, your water treatment plants going, your power on in your house or the police and fireman that would rather be with their families are out putting our x-mas tree fires or finding the guy who stole someones x-mas gift.
Think about that when you are at home watching, "it's a wonderful life", because there are techs putting those shows on the air, that also want to be home with their families.
