I don't see the big deal about these "new" (to people here) holidays
coming in. Where did Halloween come from? Certain it wasn't a Native
American tradition and I doubt the Founding Fathers celebrated it, yet I
don't feel like a foreign invasion is going on when I hand (nutritious)
candy to tricker or treaters.
Buchanan almost sounds like the general who orders the bomber strike on
the USSR in "Dr. Strangeglove" here. (Not that I'm drinking any
flouridated water.:)
Cheers!

"There is no answer. We do here what we will
And there is no answer. This our liberty
No one has known before, nor could have borne,
For it is rooted in this deepening silence
That is our work and has become our kingdom.
If there were an answer, how could we be free?"
