bazelos 0 #26 December 12, 2006 QuoteQuoteWhat does the Rabbi want? To have in each section of the airport decorations from all the faiths that use the airport? Didn't you read the article? The Rabbi was fine with the Xmas tree, he just wanted a menorah up there too. He wanted both. He & his group were disappointed when they took the Xmas tree down. They said it might make their Jewish group look like a "grinch." Thus my reply, what's so difficult to understand? If the Rabbie got his way then so would every other religion that wanted a decoration in the airport.He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

rickjump1 0 #27 December 12, 2006 Quote Maybe Bush should just take control of the airport; he knows how to settle problems of this kind.That's not as bad as bulldozing down the whole airport. Maybe Mayor Daley((democrat) needed some land for growing Christmas trees so he sacrificed Meigs Field.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Zeppo 0 #28 December 12, 2006 I work for an Arabic Airline, and even we have a Christmas Tree in our office. I was actually pleasantly suprised to find that they put one up. I'd say about 50% of our staff don't celebrate christmas, and about 80% of our clients don't either. No complaints. It's simply represents the good natured spirit of the holidayWhat goes up, must come DOWN!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hymandd732 0 #29 December 12, 2006 Xmas trees represent the commercial Xmas so should not be subject to religious restrictions. The Rabbi is off the mark in producing an argument based on religion to protest Xmas trees in public areas.
