How to Lose Your Job on Your Own Time

point/counterpoint

The topic today is kwanzaa and my recent television appearance promoting our kwanzaa program, as i am apparently a resident expert on the subject. frightening.
Point: Please...MORE news-spots like this one! I actually learned something. What a positive story about the diverse holiday celebrations within our culturally pluralistic society. Rebecca Grawl is clearly an excellent spokesperson for Amazement Square. It's so refreshing to know that our society can grow and change; new holidays can be created; and that we needn't be culturally chained to traditions which may no longer be beneficial society. New ideas and traditions add both beauty and strength to our cultural tapestry. Ms. Grawl is intellectually curious, unlike others interviewed recently.
Counterpoint: I guess many will celebrate these days of Kwanzaa by doing the same thing that Karenga did to the African Queen in 1971. Don't you just love how a good for nothing person can start holiday(s) up and a race of people will just cleave to it just because it has something to do with Africa and it distances itself from caucasians? Christmas is for all. Black, white, red, yellow and yes even muslims if you can believe that. God is not willing that even one should perish but that all should have eternal life. That is why his son Jesus was sent to us and why we celebrate his Earthly birth and his crucifixion. Jesus is worthy of our love and worship. All these other so called holidays are just something made up to take the focus off of what is REAL and onto something that is irrelevant. Rebecca Grawl and Amazement Square should be teaching the tenets of christian love instead of promoting evil fake holidays to our children.
Verdict: People in Lynchburg are crazy. Thank the deity of your choice that the holidays are over.
