'Twas the month before Christmas when all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying nor taking a stand.
Why the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say

The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a "Holiday."

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks, and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets are hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was nowhere to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.

I am planning on going snowmobiling (on a tour) when I go to Killington in a couple weeks, but someone just told me (who lives there) that the snowmobile trails usually don't open until later in the winter. I have tried calling the company I wanted to use, but they won't answer. Anyone have any inside info? We were planning on either December 20th or 21st.

TIA

Energy is neither created or destroyed. We take trillions of Watts out of the air currents every day to generate electricity.

What is the environmental impact of reducing the amount of energy in the air streams?

Since this energy moves water around the planet, does removing this energy for electrical generation also remove the ability for the air to move this water?

If the air no longer has the ability to move the air with higher water concentrations to areas with lower water concentrations, this would cause floods and droughts where they wouldn't normally occur.

Are we creating a new problem with wind power? Are we creating 'Global Calming'?

If I tell a client I will book your wedding date today, does it mean she has to pay today and sign the contract too? So booking and contract must be done at the same time?

I have a decent background in programming, although over the last few years its mainly just been VBA and Access. I have very little experience with creating websites and such, but I want to start creating websites which access a database. So which language(s) would u recommend to do this ? The easier the language is to use the better obviously.
Previously used Delphi, Clarion, TAS and VB/VBA.

Did you talk to your adult extended family relatives when you were a teenager?. I am talking about Uncles, Aunts, and other extended family.

In my extended family the kids really will not bother to talk to their relatives unless it is their parents. I do not even see much communication between the teenagers and Grandpa and Grandma. I have tried and can not even get a grunt out of my teenage relatives. How about you?

In the next century, nations as we know [them] will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority. National sovereignty wasn't such a great idea after all. – Strobe Talbot, President Clinton's deputy secretary of state, as quoted in Time, July 20, l992
http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/1/9/163443.shtml

On July 18, 1993, globalist Henry Kissinger said in the Los Angeles Times, concerning NAFTA: "What Congress will have before it is not a conventional trade agreement but the architecture of a new international system ... a first step toward a new world order."

Whatever they call themselves, in 1994 this particular branch of our feckless ruling establishment moved heaven and earth to get around the U.S. Constitution. It did so when it climbed over the dying body that is the power of Congress to make treaties, including treaties on issues of money and trade.

Why did Clinton do this to America?
