MERRY CHRISTMAS & BEN STEIN

CHRISTMAS

Somewhere recently your Queen read an editorial written by Ben Stein on the "Merry Christmas" offensive controversy.  (Which, since I am Queen, I am banishing from my kingdom!)  Well, if you don't know Ben Stein, you should.  He has a way of looking at things that we so appreciate!  We flatter ourselves that we think alike.  Also -- and here is the bit -- he's Jewish.  Openly, happily, unashamedly, Jewish.

And now that we have gone on and on, we can't remember where it was!!!!  All you computer savvy peeps - find it!

But to reiterate:  being offended is banished from my kingdom.  We have HAD IT WITH OFFENDED!!!!!  Grow up.  Be kind.  Love one another.

We admit that there are levels of  "offensive".  Some things--actions, expressions, etc.-- are just plain rude, crude, improper, unkind, impolite, etc.  Unfortunately not all of these are the same anymore for most of society, not to mention, cultures.  However, wherever that is for you, DEAL WITH IT WITHOUT BEING OFFENSIVE!

You have options:  Get out of the situation; walk away; gently make it known if this is a guest of yours that this..........is not something acceptable in your castle; refuse to be drawn in to the offended game.  You may have to reevaluate your 'friendship'  But, really, peeps.

Your Queen just realized that this movement needs a mascot!  Sort of the Smokey Bear of the "End the Offensive Game" movement!  After all, only you can stamp out offensive!\\

Suggestions peeps?

Phew.  Your Queen feels much better.
