Is there any "holiday spirit" surrounding Christmas and Thanksgiving, or is it all about shopping?

Mother always served them,
That's what we got,
Leading me to wonder,
Left over from what?

Even on Thanksgiving
(This is very murky)
Lines on its face suggested
This might be last year's turkey.

For some of your callers I would recommend a couple of pre-season exercises.

- Imagine you don't have health care
Ask yourself a question: "How many people die
because they don't have health care?
- Imagine you live on minimal wage. Do some calculations.
- If you live in Manhattan, open your eyes, and look around. Maybe, just maybe you'll see some victims (yours?) right near you?
- Drop your "voice distorted by sincerity" if you really, really don't care about anybody.

The true faith of Americans is consumerism. It's time we drop the pretext, that Chri$tma$ has a any great meaning beyond the gift exchange (rooted in pagan tradition)
We don't need any saviors. We don't even need a savings account. A mall is our temple. Greed is our creed.
Keep borrowing. Keep spending. We're number one forever!!
