ACLU: A Christmas Litigant Underfunded
You know it has been a good year despite all the bad news when there is a Christmas story as compelling as the classic It’s A Wonderful Life. You wouldn’t expect Christmas and the ACLU to be present in a positive Yuletide story but there it is in all its wonder. What a great way to round out this week’s theme of Christmas stories to counter the war on Christmas but a report that not only does the ACLU smell bad but their piggy bank (aka sugar daddy) is a bit light this year.
There’s no cause to gloat because ‘as we speak’ one can imagine there are many out there to take the place of the cash strapped benefactor the story identifies. Someone like George Soros or another fringe entity with more money than principles will undoubtedly rise to the dark side void left by another. But one can be pleased that one source for the war on Christmas has retreated if only temporarily.
If you haven’t already it may be time to consider the New Year. Reflection on the one passing may be a good place to start. Whether an introspective analysis or simply assembling plans for 2010 goals there is no shortage of items to consider. We can all do better. It’s a target rich environment filled with an array of items we can contribute are time and energy to even if much is in short supply these days.
