I'm glad you liked it. I hope the idea spreads. Because while I consider imaginary friends somewhat ridiculous myself, I've absolute nothing against the peaceful and nonoffensive use of such creations. And I understand, from observation, that some people find them important. I just don't want anyone to be bothered by anyone else- and what the numbnuts on the right don't seem to get, is that not everyone has to be in to your shit for the world to function, and be nice. In fact, it's nice if you keep your shit to yourself. You don't have to walk up to every Hindu, and Buddhist and Moslem and say "Merry Christmas" the way another person would say "fuck you". Jesus would probably opt for "Seasons's Greetings", I suspect- but who knows? I do know that a polite person doesn't shove their shit in another person's face- not at the store, not at the dinner table, not anywhere- except where likeminded pugilists gather to insult each other (which I don't understand, but acknowledge has some attractions for some people.)

Pure politeness is really what the right defines as the "war" on Christmas. But then they don't get polite- which is obvious when you look at their "leaders"- who are all assholes.
