Re: M-TH: Festive Greetings
Yes, I thought Communism would be a permanent Party. CB Rob Schaap [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/24/99 08:25AM Bugger all this asceticism! It doesn't say anywhere a leftie can't enjoy a bit of convivial excess with his or her fellow human beings, does it? As Monty Python almost said, I wasn't expecting a phalanx of sombre Franciscan friars! So Jesus wasn't actually born on this date, so it's a colonised pagan feast further transformed by crass commercial opportunism, so Jesus is not quite our chap (did enjoy that bit about the turning of the merchant's tables, though), so what? After all, as the saying almost goes, all serious theorising and no wanton Bacchanalia makes lefties dull boyz'n'galz. In my selfless way, I shall be downing a foamy jar for each of you! A very happy Thaxmas to all! Rob. --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- --- from list [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---
Re: M-TH: Festive Greetings
Bugger me too. Has anyone read the new Wheen bio of Marx. Apparently Marx used to get up to hijinks by throwing stones at street lamps and then split when the bobbies arrived. There's nothing wrong with having fun as long as its at the bosses' expense. Its when we are paying for it that makes it no fun at all. Dave Bugger all this asceticism!
