Just when you think it's impossible for them to get more stupid with this type of crap.
Here in my town, in suburban Phoenix, we have a "spring holiday" every year, on the school calendar. It always manages to fall on Good Friday. What an amazing coincidence, huh?
That's a perfect example of how truly asinine it is, these Orwellian straitjackets they're trying to keep around everyone's conscious minds. Not only do they assiduously purge any acknowledgment of Judeo-Christian beliefs or holidays, they purge even the mere names. How ridiculous is that? Referring to something by name is not an endorsement of the thing, it's just identifying it by what everyone knows it as. I remember a few years ago all the Christmas ads from Lowes Home Improvement even called Christmas trees (which they freely and enthusiastically sold) "Holiday Trees". They can't even
call them Christmas trees? Well what the hell else are they? December 25th Trees?
Even if you take the pre-Christian history of the Yule tree into account, it has for so long since then been adopted into the Christian celebration of Jesus' birth that they are universally known as Christmas trees. This sort of thing, the deliberate renaming of things into patently absurd euphemisms, is seriously a case of mass psychosis in my opinion. The sheer unreality of it is difficult to describe, but I can tell you one thing: I am sick of it. Sick of it.
