The logic here seems to be that because some people who called themselves Christians have done evil things, therefore all Christians and all Christian things are evil.

It would be similarly accurate to say that because some people who call themselves Americans have done evil things, all Americans are evil.

Or, since some people who put "PLUR" on their flyers sell fake mdma tablets to 13-year-olds, then anyone who beleives in peace, love, unity, and respect wants to kill kiddies.

As my girlfriend and I were driving around San Francisco today, we noticed all the closed stores and empty parking lots, and imagined people sitting happily with their families at home, and had an interesting idea.

Imagine a picture of a mall, with a sign saying "closed for the holidays"...maybe you can see the parking lots empty. The caption would be "don't you wish every day was like Christmas?"

     I'm sitting here in front of a terminal at 19:12 on Monday, December 25. I was here yesterday at this time as well. And, I'm sure I'll be here tomorrow.
     And, what am I doing? NOTHING! There's been no new news or mail for hours, and there're no projects to do, and nothing's broken enough that I need to try to fix it.
     So now I'm bored out of what little is left of my mind, eating somebody else's cold General Tso's Chicken and drinking warm Mistic iced tea (the peach flavor, yeech, but it's better than no iced tea at all), listening to every single song that Led Zeppelin ever released ("This is the wonder of devotion; I've seen the path we all must go.")
