A couple thoughts... A new Zogby poll(
http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1213) shows that a lot of us are offended by clerks who wish us a happy holidays. I realize that most likely doesn't apply here at this forum, still it is worthy of note.
What we seem to have an abundance of in this country is people who want a selective enforcement of the Constitution. They seem to be against all the Amendments (with the possible exception of Amendment two, but they only want that enforced in the most narrow of ways).
What we really have is a group of people who seem to enjoy being victims. "Their" religion is being picked on; "their" way of life is being threatened; etc.
Here's the bottom line: If your enjoyment of Christmas depends on what others say and what others do, then you must not be comfortable with your own traditions. My Christmas season is rich and worshipful whether you say "Happy Holidays" to me or not.
Oh, and as Columbo would say, "just one more thing." My wife and were married in a church before God and witnesses. We promised to stay together, for better worse until death parted us. So far with the help of God and friends we have managed to keep that promise for over thirty years. There have been many threats to that union over the past three decades, and unfortunately, I suspect there will be many more. But none of those threats -- not one-- involve any potential union of Adam and Steve.
We just hope they're as happy as we are.
