Just in time for the Seasons we are already able to watch the “I am offended Crowd” in Action. I am wondering if those lovely, soft hearted, easily offended busy bodies don’t have anything better to do with their Time.

I have been an awed TV watching, Newspaper reading Bystander for the last few Years now as I watched with utter amazement as one Christmas, Solstice or other relgious holiday winter decoration was forced down, because one or the other person found it offensive.

Now I actuall got to witness this idioticy in person at my local Wal-mart store of all places. Yes, folks I stood with my mouth hanging open (no I didn’t catch any flies) as some overweight (nearing 300 lbs), muffin stuffing woman (at least it had tits so I think it was a female) raised a holy ruckus in the Halloween Isle.

She demanded from the poor Sales Associated in very loud and unearthly tones to speak to the Manager. When the more than harrowed person arrived, she fairly screamed in indignation (by now a small crowd is gathering) at this innocent worker bee.

“How dare you put up these decorations? What do you mean Halloween? It isn’t good for our Children to put up with such heathen festivals. God would not be pleased. Do you want to go to hell?”

Now, I for one was starting to nervousely look around me and was waiting for little cracks in the floor to appear. Surely with so much stomping and acting like a fool her self proclaimed God would open the very earth beneath her feet.

Seriousely now, that is when it goes just a bit too far don’t you think? Not only have we taken all the fun out of most Holidays, the decoration selections are more and more dissappearing, because goodness knows we wouldn’t want to offend some idiot out there who can not simply look away and let other people have a life too. No now we have to destroy yet another sweet tradition for our kids. As if we don’t have enough rough times, do we really have to add more boring and down right idiot behavior to the mix?

My personal opinion on that one? She just didn’t want to have to share her Candy with the little trick or treaters.

Oh and don’t you know it. The Isle is now called …Harvest Festival.

Where is my Pitchfork?
