I'm a traditionalist. It only irks me when the grain suddenly goes the opposite way. Kinda like how an animal would react when pet the wrong way. Just as well, I'm also bothered by Christmas being sold in October and such. I mean, leave everything in their respective time frames, okay?
Everyone worries too much about the bottom-line these days, and it's making political correctness spin like a dradle. So screw it, I'm setting up my Christmas Tree, singing Happy Holidays, and being open-minded about the other religions celebrating in their own way during the season. As long as everyone's happy, I can care less about the rest of the PC-nonsense.
On that note, I used to support political correctness to a degree (I'm primarily in the "Don't be a dick"/"Do unto others as you'd want done unto you" variety; about or against others, that is. That applies to patriotism/nationalism, religious celebrations, and any other teeny-tiny feature of mankind (like fat-pride or some such hidden in obscurity, waiting to scream along with everyone else's scream-fests about political correctness and such, getting lost in the noise)), for a time being, until it decided to throw rationality into the furnace to keep itself warm, only to underestimate how volatile rationality burns, and it turns itself into a cultural bomb.
BTW, anyone else celebrate Festivus? It's a rather underrated holiday. Feats of Strength ought to be done between these irrational PC-minded people. We can place bets and enjoy the heavily spiked eggnogg while at it.
