squeaky wheel gets the grease. Those of us who enjoyed the holidays how they were and never said anything because we were happy were obviously not heard when the minority who did not started complaining. In an effort to "make the people happy" the politicians started doing what the "majority" said (meaning majority of what they heard). Now anyone who speaks up against that are labeled racist. No one wants that label so they just let it happen. The only way we are going to get our way of life back is to stand up and let them call you whatever. I do on a regular basis. I do get called a racist on a regular basis. I just laugh at them and let them know how ignorant I think they are. I was actually told by a black city council member that my racist views against the black community will not be tolerated and asked to leave the meeting. I said ok, turned to my wife and said come on honey lets go we are not welcome. The looks were awesome (my wife is black). Made him look like a complete fool. From my understanding nothing went his way for the rest of the meeting. People followed my lead after I left and stood up for what they believe. Come to find out that most people there agreed with me, but everything was still Happy Holidays because the orders were already placed for the stuff. The meeting was just supposed to be a formality. Repeating the process is the only way to get your point across. If you just accept the change, then it appears that you either want it, or are OK with it.
