Proof please, with specific incidents showing the direct connection, and direct quotes with exact attribution.

Also, get a handle---lest you be lumped in with the courageous but wild-eyed and loopy thinking amorphous mass of "Guests" (ghosts) we are honored to have.

This is an urgent request. I have already sung 3 Christmas concerts this year, including one for kids, and I have another to sing today. It would be extremely helpful for me to identify the pitfalls, lest I cause more military adventurism by singing Christmas songs.

As somebody who has fought Bush tooth and nail for years, and considers he is a disaster for both the US and possibly the world, I would still like the link between Christmas and militarism established more clearly than you have done so far. Please explain.

I trust you did have the sense to vote for Kerry--neither voting for Nader nor sitting home since your perfect candidate somehow was not on the ballot this year. We'll certainly endeavor to do better for you in future.
