UMMMM....THERE'S A WAR ON WHAT NOW?

I'm getting more than a little tired of these PR antics.

First, we had this ridiculous 'War on Xmas', which I think was started by Fox-Hole news, and the trumpeting spread, like a bad cold or a vicious meme spiraling. Beyond Belief and a few others began taking up the battle-cry. Here's a pretty decent article, from the WA Post of all places.

THEN we have the 'War on Easter', which, well, to be honest, will look like a War On Thumper to the Disney kids and their parents.

Hell, some atheists have declared war on Moral Relativism. [NOTE: judging from the month on the time-date stamp, this is a future post being put together - right now it doesn't exist].

We really need to start organizing our priorities, people. Some of this is just plain foolishness. I mean, we're America's least trusted minority, fer cryin' out loud. We're already seen as some of the most unflattering of lights in most cases anywhoways. So let's add more fuel to the fire? Use oil to put the blaze out? C'mon.

We're outnumbered, people. That's not bad enough, folks see us as bitter, bad-mouthing miscreants bent on a total overthrow of societal mores.

So here's my one-and-only rule-of-thumb: if it is likely to make a small child cry, DON'T FUCKING DO IT! So let's just allow Xmas to continously become more and more diluted (which it already has), and stop waging war on Thumper (or Peter Cottontail, or whatever saccharine-wrapped diabetes-causing archetype you want to call it). As to the war on Moral Relativism? Well, that'd have to be one WEIRD little kid to start weeping over that one, so let that go.

Unless you don't mind being compared to some obnoxious ogre who goes around popping kids' balloons, that is.

In short: it's the old carpenter's adage. Measure twice, cut once.

Otherwise, we're going to have a lot of ruined lumber.

And that's my nickel's worth, dear reader. Spend it wisely, and well.
