QUOTE: Jay Nordinger:
"A reader sent me something treasurable, and typical. He quoted a memorandum of his company, which said, "[Company X] observes the following holidays." Listed then were "New Year's Day," "Presidents' Day," "Memorial Day," "July 4th/Independence Day," "Labor Day," "Thanksgiving and the Day After," and, get this, "December 25th." The company couldn't bring itself to utter the C-word. Maybe they thought it was unconstitutional or something. We're lucky that they actually said "Thanksgiving," as I have noticed — and remarked in Impromptus — that Thanksgiving is being replaced by "holiday," too."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
