#1 This is the first year that a Christmas tree isn't displayed in 29 years at my work place that I can vouch for.
Every year in the main lobby was a beautiful tree, and every unit had it's own tree that we would decorate with our specific area's expertise.

This PC crap is just that, crap.

#2 "We decided to take the trees down because we didn't want to be exclusive," HUH? If you exclude everyone does that makes it inclusive?

#3 Good on ya SEATAC but not to worry - some other bonehead will pick up the 'No Christ in Christmas' theme.

Ah, here comes one now - the New Albany School District in Central Ohio pulled the song 'Silent Night' out of it's grade school program due to the fact that one of the Jewish parents objected to the lyrics "Christ the Saviour is born".

(Can't find an online reference yet, but it was in the dead tree version of the Columbus Disgrace this morning.)

#4 The three words that best describe Bogomilsky are as follows and I quote:

Stink

Stank

Stunk!

#5 these winey rabbis should think first, unneccessary lawsuits are just what they're all about though.

#6 It's the Lubavicher Chassids who got a Channukah menorah added to the Christmas display on Cincinnati's Fountain Square downtown. They never demanded that the Xmas trees come down many years ago, just that we be included. It sounds like that was the situation in Seatac as well, but some idiot had a snit and overreacted. It was the the Cincinnati city council that subsequently decided not to include the cross the KKK wanted to add to the festivities, as the Christmas trees sufficed.

Slaising Spoger4813 dear, you will have noticed that the winey rabbi didn't actually file a law suit, and was appalled at that the trees were removed. mcsegeek1, to whose actions are you really objecting?

#7 Same deal in TLH Trailing Wife, the Lubavitchers wanted to put on a big abstract menorah, but they enjoyed the trees too. The trees, downtown decorations and Menorah were all powered up at the same time. No sweat.
