Maybe it's because many amerikans have become ignoramous couch potatoes with the attention span of a blipvert. I mean information and activity challanged with attention deficit disorder.
well, it is not just our problem but the western worlds. look at Germany...Italy, england.. hell, even look down under in Australia. pc is rearing it ugly head everywhere. we ALL need to wake up QUICK.
Even if she leaves, her tax dollars are still paying for a religious festival. I wouldn't be particularly impressed either.
PC is big, its the new thing. It's not going anywhere as much as well all want it to. I hate political correctness, but I hate politics even more. It made me sad as a kid for my lovely rugrats show to turn into this wanna-be politcal ball of open acceptance. It's all bullshit.
Yeah I hate PC as much as anyone else, as part of the Canadian Conservative Party it's all around me, in formal, whenever I go to the conventions though nobody gives a rat's ass, it's just for show. Pretty much in NA if the mob is hungry, throw them some bread. Well I say, if the mob is hungry, let them starve. A quote I like from Demolition Man ( one of my guilty pleasures ) " You can't take away people's right to be assholes ".
Sure Easter is about Christ. The Bunny harkens back to a pagan spring festival though. Who is really playing offense and who is playing defense here? Could a citizen really be offended by this?
The issue isn't whether Easter is allowed to exist. It's whether a secular government has the right to pay for religious events with tax money coming from members of other faiths.
I agree and that's why there should be separation between church and state. Within the private retail sector it's up to the merchant. If city hall (local/state/federal governments) want to rename holidays it's fine with me. I can still be involved in whatever religious rites I deem appropriate.
I remember someone in Seattle sent thier attorney against an Airport that had pine trees with red bows set up for Christmas 2006. Again hardly a religous symbol, and not at public expense either. The Airport took the trees down. Who is playing offense and who is playing defense?
