You are not a sociopath. You are different, and it would be a very boring world if we were all the same.
I do not know Ron, but I have the well-founded suspicion that he doesn't worship Baal/Capitalism. I see him as a usually cheery guy who thinks about issues and then posts. I do not always agree with him, but that's cool, because we all be cool about stuff on the 'cat. I agree that the money side of Yule sucks the big one, but for many it truly IS a time to celebrate the birth of their God, and I can respect that even though I don't perceive it in the same way.
Despite my earlier remarks to you GUEST A-S, I do wish you a relaxing and 'festive' season. Forget the Santa stuff and the Birth stuff. I simply hope you have a good time, and I apologize for getting bitchy with you.
