BEYOND THE C WORD | 2007-12-26

I am sure we have been good little boys and girls and avoided the C word for December 25, using "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays."

Now that we have learned that lesson, let us begin on the next. One no longer says "Happy New Year" because that is associated with the anti-Semitic term "2008 A.D.," for "Anno Domini."

The new formulation is "Happy 2008 C.E.," "Common Era." adjusted of course from year to year.

Big Brother is watching you.

We are watching Big Brother right back. I think Our Lord is watching too.

I also am reminded that the winter soltice was a holiday "holy day" clear back before it became Christmas. So I suppose all this pertains to our race more than we know.

Common Era. Christian Era. If you are going to be Politically Correct, you would not insinuate that the measurement of years from the birth of Christ is THE Common Era.
