The worst contagious disease of all-materialism!--Seeing all the stuff that they would like to have but can't afford to buy, therefore perhaps encouraging them to murmur in their hearts that they can't have it.
I think the commercialising of Christmas by the merchants is hypocritical, with the wrong meaning of Christmas, the wrong purpose of Christmas, the wrong things for Christmas. The Christmas tree itself even can be made to symbolise the beauty of life and living. In Wintertime the evergreen, even in the midst of death and decay, is sort of a symbol of everlasting life. It's a symbol of eternal living in spite of Winter and all that's deal around, the evergreens survive and stay ever-green and continue to be living, green and beautiful all Winter long.

More Cartoon 12/05/2009 :
The trouble with the American system now is that the president can get the U.S. into war without consent of Congress or the people. The law says that only Congress has the power to declare war, but the past few wars have not been started by Congress. In fact, sometimes it never even declared war at all. The war was simply started by the president because he's the commander-in-chief of the military and can throw forces into battles on his own in an emergency.

That's what Lyndon B. Johnson did in Vietnam: the Vietnamese sank one of the U.S. patrol boats in the Bay of Tonkin, so he turned around and began sinking theirs, and soon it was a full-scale war. I think it was a long time before Congress ever declared war, if it ever did. In World War II, the U.S. didn't declare war until Pearl Harbor. That made Congress mad enough to declare war almost immediately. In World War I, it took the sinking of the Lusitania, a British ship loaded with Americans, by a German sub.
