Thursday, December 22, 2011  Ruining Christmas  Usually I try to
stay away from controversial topics.  Both in my blog and in my
"real life" conversations.  I don't like to upset people.  I
tend to be overly sensitive so I try not to say anything that
might hurt someone else's feelings.  Until I feel really
strongly about something.  Then I get on my soapbox.  I still
try not to hurt any feelings but I just can't seem to swallow
my disagreement.  Last year I avoided this topic because I know
it will put me in the unpopular crowd.  This is a topic that
seems to send people into a fury and I am vastly outnumbered.  I
have been avoiding my blog because this has been weighing
heavily on my mind and I know I can't write about anything else.
Finally here today I will break my silence.  First, though, a
spoiler warning.  If you have any young children you might want
to stop reading this out loud.  Turn your monitor.  Protect them
from the horror I am about to reveal.  Are they gone yet?  Ok,
consider yourself warne
