Can anyone inform me what christmas is all about.Are we celebrating the fast approaching slaughter and genocide of Iraq.

Just what are we supposed to be celabrating next week.All i see when walking around my local town are people addicted to chemical and consumer induced pseudo euphoria.At any other time of year they all appear moronic and docile.Do i miss the point of all that is going on around me? Iappear to be the only person concerned with the fast approaching genocide of the poor people of Iraq.I recently noticed a poster in a shop window proclaiming peace on earh and goodwill towards all men is this meant as soom sick sarcastic joke.Can someone please inform me of how this poster squares with killing and maiming poor defensless people.I fail to understand the relivence of this thing people refer to as christmas can anyone enlighten me of what is going on.

Totally agree...
I also find it sickening that people sit round their table stuffing turkey or whatever into their fat chops and don't even spare a thought for the millions of starving people around the world. And we are supposed to be civilised. Humbug.
