Happy Holidays

Since most everyone reads Usenet using proportional fonts for the past
2309482039481 years except those Luddites with UNIX shell accounts who use
rn or Tin, and since most dot matrix printers are slowly rotting away in
landfills, the only way i could figure out how to do this was to do it like
this:

A Holiday "card" created to be read in fixed-width font, ASCII art by Mike
Jittlov, suitable for all possible seasonal greetings to people of all
religions, ethnicities, and even an Atheist or two might enjoy it. Luddites
definitely should. I posted it to an Amiga newsfroup ten years ago, and if
that tinyurl works correctly, you should see it in a fixed-width font so it
doesn't look like poo.

Happy Holidays (of your choice, etc. etc.)..

address from that posting will result in a total waste of time ..

(Oh, and i was looking at my pocket change last night and found the
cruddiest 1920 Licoln cent i've ever seen, plus a bunch of 2004 and 2005
nickels, just to give this posting the mininimuinimiuinium daily adult
requirement of coin content, as required by FDA labelling laws..) ..

And the irony is that if you'd posted it here, I would have seen it in
it's proper form since my newsreader (Thunderbird) is configured to view
with a fixed font whereas my browser uses a proportional font...

For the rest of you in the same boat as me:

That was cool Harv. Merry Christmas!

And just to keep this on topic, my daughter who is working as a cashier in a
store brought me home a VF 1924 wheatie!

Thanks Harv! And to all in this group, choose your winter holiday greeting
from below.

- Merry Christmas to those of Christian persuasion! This is a holy day for
you. I wish you the all the best of the "good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all the people."

- Happy Hanukkah to those of you of Jewish persuasion! I think that Judah
"The Hammer" Maccabee was a superhero for the ages. May the dreidls spin and
fall the way you want 'em to.

- Happy Kwanzaa to those of African descent! Habari gani?: Umoja!
Kujichagulia! Ujima! Ujamaa! Nia! Kuumba! Imani!

- Happy Solstice! As an astronomer, I appreciate the long winter nights in
some respects (there is more time to look at the stars, after all) but I too
am happy for the return of the Sun to the northern hemisphere and the warmer
days that come with it.

- Merry Yule! May your hams be juicy, your logs burn bright and warm, and
your holly and boughs be ever-green.

I don't think I covered 'em all, but if you celebrate something festive at
this time of year, hope you have fun and experience much joy in your
celebrations. That's something we can always use, no matter who or where...

BOND Says 'No' to Kwanzaa! Launches 'Merry Christmas!' Not 'Happy
Kwanzaa!' Campaign

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Reverend Jesse Lee
Peterson, author of the book, SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits
Black America, which was just released in paperback, is
trying to educate Americans that Kwanzaa (celebrated Dec. 26- Jan. 1)
is not a legitimate holiday, it is a platform for racial hatred which
was started in America by a Marxist ex-con who served four years in
prison for torturing two women.

"Kwanzaa is not a legitimate holiday; it is a subversive black
nationalist movement designed to create racial separatism and hatred.
It is one of the biggest scams being perpetrated on black Americans,"
says
Rev. Peterson.

In 1966, Ron Karenga, the leader of United Slaves Organization, a
Marxist "black power" group, created Kwanzaa to help blacks get in
touch with their African roots.

Rev. Peterson says, "Marxist Karenga's Kwanzaa celebration is really a
banquet of socialism, worship of false gods and Afrocentrism. The
Kwanzaa pledge of allegiance is a perfect example of racial hatred
and black separatism:

"We pledge allegiance to the red, black and green, our flag, the symbol
of our eternal struggle, and to the land we must obtain; one nation of
black people, with one God of us all, totally united in the struggle,
for black love, black freedom and black self-determination."

Rev. Peterson adds, "This is not a celebration of African harvest; it
is a political statement for the establishment of a black nation and
racial hatred against whites."

According to the BOND website, Karenga explained the holiday as
follows: "People think it's African but it is not. I came up with
Kwanzaa because black people wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was
American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a
lot of Bloods would be partying."

Kwanzaa has been widely promoted in our culture; President George W.
Bush even issued a proclamation celebrating Kwanzaa in 2002.

Rev. Peterson points out, "Most whites are fearful of telling the truth
about Kwanzaa because they're labeled racist, anti-black and
intolerant. Hate-filled men like Ron Karenga have used this bogus
holiday to
bash Christmas and preach anti-white views. The 'Merry Christmas!' Not
'Happy Kwanzaa!' Campaign is designed to expose the falsehoods of
Kwanzaa and defend the celebration of Christmas."

Campaign, please visit the BOND website at www.bondinfo.org
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal
hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away
my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my
heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.
