332. Agreed. It is a disturbing position to tell someone he or she cannot -- |

-- have an idea or opinion or thought, expressable on equal terms under the free speech provisionss of the First Amendment.
Besides, I thought Floog's comment about the warping -- if I may use that term -- of "Easter" is strong. It IS a marketer's campaign in many respects.
The damn drugstore is crammed with chocolate rabbits from floor to ceiling all this past week. By today -- Monday -- they're "discounted" and people are evidently grabbing them like hotcakes.
If Floog or anybody else asks consideration of the marketer's angle on a given holiday, and sees in that angle a dislocation of some Christians' original intent, I'd say it suggests a keen observer with a sharp mind who has THIS holiday by the short hairs.
