Jesus and such
Even if he was born sometime in the spring, and this is just Saturnalia displaced...
Even if the greedy and exploitative have turned his legacy for their own profit...
Even if he has been co-opted to stand for intolerance, impatience and insularity...
And even if a thousand holy wars have been carried out in his name, against his wishes...
Jesus was a pretty alright fellow, with some very beautiful ideas about loving one's neighbour, living in poverty and considering others before yourself.
So happy birthday, Jesus!
Here's to 2006 more!
