          I, for one, do feel that Christmas is a gross infringement on
my rights as a non-Christian citizen. The other restriction on my life-
style that really bothers me, however, is the Judeo-Christian inspired and
state-backed law against Sunday shopping. While I believe that the independant
retailers may need the protection of having a one-day enforced holiday on all( 
so that they are not forced to work themselves into the ground when others hire
help) I would prefer that this be the reason, and not a religious one binding onall.

                       At least Atheists don't have to worry about Hell,

          The only flames I will ever see are the ones here.
