    Before that, have you tried reporting Shri's disturbing post to the editors?

    Since we bought out our company from our (previous) US owner, I have SO MUCH enjoyed putting "Happy Christmas" on my christmas cards rather than "happy holidays".

We learn to control our fears by facing them, not hiding from them. We learn to understand that the world is not fair by seeing that others may have more (or less) than we do and coming to terms with that. Childhood is about learning these and other social skills. Schools should be encouraging that development, not stunting it.
    Ah, but if political correctness was banned, who would I laugh at?
