I see no reason to change it, do you?
\nIf a Martian landed on our shores at this time of year and
\ndecided to watch television to get a feel for us, what would he
\nwitness?
\nFor one thing, he’d never fathom that Christmas meant the
\nbirth of Christ, or that holiday meant Holy Day.
\nHe would see St. Nicholas portrayed as a bearded fat man
\nwearing a funny red hat and clothing, trimmed with white,
\nuttering moronic Ho-Ho’s. He would see hordes of people
\nrun amok, damn near trampling each other in a frenzy of spending.
\nSo much for TV. If he walked the cold streets he would see people begging for alms and sleeping on cardboard, while others passed
\nwith no care, no concern.
\nAll this in the richest country on Earth, which calls itself
\n“one nation under God”.
\nI wonder what God thinks about that?
