Holiday message

[ol' blue]

I got this holiday message from a friend...

To All My Liberal 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 2009, 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 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 Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love it!!..................

Does your friend live in Olympia?

Nope. Actually he wrote this 5 or 6 years ago and sent it to some of his friends (myself included). Another buddy found it again on a random bulletin board yesterday, so apparently it is still making the rounds. Funny how the internet works.

To be perfectly accurate, the original had some political parties listed as well, but those were replaced for posting here on FAOL.
