OT: An appropriate message for this time of year

[Guest guest]

I didn't write this myself, I foundit on a hobby group and cleaned it

up so far as formatting and " > " symbols goes.

Larry Murray

Please accept with no obligation, implied or expressed,

my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low

stress, non addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the holiday* of your

choice on or about the winter solstice, practiced within the most

enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion or secular practices of

your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or

traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular

traditions at all, and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and

medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted

calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of

choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped to

make America great (not to imply that America is greater than any other

country or is the only " America " in the western hemisphere) and without

regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith

or sexual preference of the wishee.
