Andy9o8 0 #1 March 11, 2007 We all know and love the "Assault on Christmas" we hear about yearly. Not to be outdone, there is now an Assault on Easter. Godless Commie Bastards. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/03/11/MNGGVOJC0H1.DTL&feed=rss.news Snippet: Quote Chocolate bunny meltdown Media hops all over Walnut Creek and its renamed egg hunt C.W. Nevius Sunday, March 11, 2007 When the great Easter Bunny hullabaloo hit Walnut Creek, it took nearly everyone by surprise. Surely, city officials thought, this couldn't last. It would all blow over once people realized that they hadn't banned Easter, just renamed their annual kids' event a "Spring Egg Hunt'' rather than an "Easter Egg Hunt.'' "Honestly,'' Walnut Creek spokesman Brad Rovanpera said this week, "with all the things in the world to worry about, people are coming unglued over this?'' They are. And the reaction speaks less to the controversy about religion in the community -- it's just a rabbit, after all -- than the media's inclination to play into the simmering anger and resentment among Americans who are convinced their rights and privileges are being taken away. In this case, you could call it a "hare-trigger'' reaction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanook 1 #2 March 11, 2007 Easter has been around longer than the Christian observance. It's another solstice holiday that didn't have anything to do with Christ till the church decided to oberve his death on that date. Personally, I think both holidays can exist together and shouldn't be made as complicated as people make it._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dorbie 0 #5 March 12, 2007 Why try to rename this pagan fertility rite? Even the Church didn't dare do that. Now we're screwed this is really gonna piss of Baal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
