What does marijuana have to do with this post? And, by the way, lack of religion is what’s wrong with our world today. If more people would just simply follow the teachings of Jesus Christ our world would be a much kinder place.

In othe rwords, I'm not sure where it came from. However, you make a good point. Thanksgiving is not a religous holiday and should not have been used as an example. Scooter,

There are obviously non-religious aspects of Christmas, Easter, and the weekend (which includes Sunday). And before you start up with the "reason for the season" tripe, you should know that Christians simply imposed themselves on existing celebrations and claimed they were of Christian origin. (The myth of Jesus indicates he was born in the Spring, so why is his supposed birthday celebrated in the earliest part of Winter?) Even if we deny the truth and pretend that these holidays, and Sunday, are purely Christian in nature, there are still obvious problems with this "proposal" (nonsense). The first being that many government employees, elected officials, etc. are Christian (unfortunately) and would thus want the time off, creating staffing issues, and the second being that even if this were not the case, the holiday-driven external impacts on government on these days would reduce the effectiveness of operational government offices. An over-simplified analogy is that grocery stores can't stock their shelves if the truckers are on strike. But don't worry about logic, facts, or critical thinking. Just read your emotional drivel and show the expected emotional response. That's what you're accustomed to anyway. What unreasoned nonsense — which, of course, fits so well with religion in general.

We have a term for bureaucrats like these and they are everywhere. Unfortunately I could not possibly demean your site by using it. I think you know where I'm coming from though. Go get them.
