In memory of those we lost in the past years... this dedication is to you, the eccentrics, the free thinkers, people who made a difference in our lives both in the real world and on the net.Thank you for the memories.

That Jesus descended upon us so our commercial enterprises would flourish?

What I meant by the "true meaning of Christmas" is all that "Good will towards all men" stuff. That means bugger all today, but it meant something back then. It was felt so strongly that they put a fucking war aside for one day because the soldiers felt so strongly about it. That's powerful stuff.The Christmas that the soldiers at the Christmas Truce had and the Christmas of the 21st century are two different Christmases. They saw it as a reason enough to stop fighting, we see it as an excuse to fight for stuff we can't afford to buy it for people who don't really need it.Fuck commercialism. It killed Christmas.
