[QUOTE="TheReasoner, post: 36889823, member: 104245"] Hm. I don't seek to blame anyone I am grieved by what Christmas has become. For some time it was a Christian holiday, now it is not. Now it's all about consumption. It grieves me deeply what it has become. Is it just me, or is there something vaguely appalling about commemorating the birth of the son of God (whose life on earth would inspire countless acts of compassion and benevolence) by drowning our offspring in disposable, media-hyped novelties assembled by disposable children forced to toil in slave-labor sweatshops; moreover, paying for the grisly merchandise with currency that embodies a perfectly amoral system of socio-economic exploitation, based on the wickedly devious lies of enlightened self-interest. Yet, somehow, the garish spectacle appears rational and even altruistic because we idiotically believe the psychotic ramblings of economists who are, ostensibly, the real deities of this shameless pretense for civilization. Oh well....... it's probably just me. [/QUOTE]
