first world problems, truly
I did realize the other day that I say have a good holiday on my contract customers this time of year. I only make a monthly site visit to audit and we are like 80% Apostolic Christian for our contract base, so a Christmas wouldnt be offensive. I didnt even realize I do that until leaving a site yesterday. We did used to be a predominately christian nation, still probably are. But when everybody was starting out doing stuff they had real problems, like cholera and measels, and injuns, so nobody had time for getting offended. Do you think there are petitions going around allepo to make everybodys sugary drink consumption limited?
