The one that get made, in the honor of my choosing to take a shit! or wait, how about the one where we all decide to be really french and take one together, we can call it health day. For the next ammend, why is it that holidays are just slates for the excentuation of mundaine crap in an age of "Free expression". I want hoes boose and crack day, everyday!
christmas...when they started shoving the "celebration" of it all starting at halloween ,& having to agree with most of you, valentines day (and don't forget sweetest day!) <- total crap
columbus day and thanksgiving. how many know the real origens of either of these? that in both cases it was about the genocidal slaughter of indiginous populations. and i'm not making that up nor saying it just to be an iconoclast either. and for that matter, how about the fourth jewel'd lie? how can anyone take pride in any country, under any idiology, economics or belief, who'se message to the rest of the world is "kiss our ass or we'll kill you"? and yes of course there's the infamous commercial over exploitation of some poor bastard who grew up to be wrongfully executed by a paranoid government a couple of thousand years ago. celibrated on a day that could not possibly have had anything to do with when any of the events in his own life actually took place. i think it's good that we have holy days though. extra days off from work and school for those engauged in such activities and sorely needing them. but it would be nice to cellibrate emperor norton day, or even theodore judah day. or the golden spike at promontory day. none of which, btw, i have the slightest idea at the moment what days those would actually be. i think cherry blossum day and salmon run day would be good ones to celibrate. and blackberries comming ripe day. and acorn festival day. i think refrigerator day for the day mechanical refrigeration was patented would be a good one. no other invention is more central to making today's way of life possible. if ever there was a day to be thankful for it would be that one. and then for a day that has done far more to permenently chainge human history then that poor bastard who grew up to become a charismatic leader and then get killed for it a couple of thousand years ago, we should all remember hiroshima day. and finally, on a more positive note, to be reminded that hopefullness is always possible, we, especially those of us here, ought to be celibrating woodstock day. =^^= .../\...
Current Xmas and Valentines day are a load of bull. They are so comercialized they lost the real meaning of the holidays. Of course xmas was pagan and was converted to xtianity, but its now even lost its xtian meaning.
