Historical Fact:From 1659 to 1681, The Puritans outawed the celebration of Christmas. Why? Because they hated the fact that Christmas had its roots in Paganism. (Lighting candles, carolers, mistletoe, tree, gift exchange, merriment) Therefore, the original "War on Christmas" was actually perpetrated by Christians. Tell your Fox News watching relatives this historical fact the next time they broach the "War on Christmas" topic.

There's no cure... 
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Secularists are upset with Neil deGrasse Tyson for calling into question flying deer stating such a thing is a physical impossibility. As if deer are even the slightest aerodynamic to being with.

Thought of the Day:Don’t laugh at kids who still believe in Santa Claus - we have millions of adults who still believe Trump is president.

Ken: My in-laws and I still quote Rap lines to each other all the time. Like "Pen, confound it, pen!" And "pickle pigs feet: Ono you know!"
My brother-in-law was a biology professor at Illinois State University for years before retiring to an emeritus professorship at UH Hilo for a few years. He did his post-doc work in the lab of the guy who invented HIV protease inhibitor. (Too bad he didn't stay with that lab, since they sold their company for billions!) My sister-in-law was a CPA, working for several companies before they both retired to Maui, Just talked with them today. Life on Maui sounds lovely. Of course, they have so much tourist traffic every day they have Covid there like everybody else.
Educating anyone benefits everyone.

Pagans ought not be upset that Christians co-opted their holiday. Capitalists co-opted the holiday from Christians. Ho ho ho. .
