I owe Katie an apology, as it was my fault that this thread got hijacked. Katie, I apologize, and I, too, am glad that WalMart has seen fit to respect Christmas. If anyone wants to continue the discussion, I will be more than happy to follow in another thread.

Alexandr,

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. These conversations have a way of going in a number of directions (to say the least).

Besides, it was Ryan who derailed it! :p

Sorry, Katie, but I'll derail your original discussion too ... in another direction ... I've received no less than 5 emails all with the same petition request to boycott Wal-Mart the days following turkey day because they support a gay-lesbian association. As Catholics, are we to miss out on the great deals because of their ideological standpoint?

Diane,
I was just reading an article [worldnetdaily.com] at WND about this same issue.

Of course I meant the one who is rumored to have been killed by the Teamsters. But you knew that already! wink

Dear Dr. Eric,

Yes I did. biggrin

I'm not sure, I don't know the story or the history, but I think the "mob" was blamed for his disappearance.
