And a PC New Year to You All

Reviewing some previously unread pre-Christmas emails, I found the following from a good friend:


 To My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally-successful, personally-fulfilling and medically-uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than neither any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere.

Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. 

To My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

I'm so grateful for my Jewish accountant, who always wishes me a Merry Christmas. I so wish the rest of the world had both his sense and sensibility.  


My good wishes to all, of whatsoever persuasion.
