...trees are displayed as seasonal art exhibits from a particular tradition and people do not object, fine. But if one or two house residents feel this is not an art exhibit they want house funds paying for, I'll be the Grinch, Scrooge or other secular symbol of Christmas-bashing and suggest it's time to take the trees down. If we are serious about sharing religion and learning from each other, I am ready to light the pink candle of an Advent wreath next Sunday and explain the religious significance and celebrations of the Christmas season...
...person as a person, with a unique history and voice unable to fit exactly into any labels other than his or her own name. But most of our relationships with others are of an I-It nature, which means that we treat the other person as we would an object or a system, expecting it to serve a certain purpose or perform a certain task (for example, I buy a newspaper from a vendor). I-It relationships are necessary for the world to work, and they don't imply any lack of respect. I have worked on many projects where...
...chief inquisitor on such issues as the Democratic fund-raising scandal will be a man who has never pretended to be impartial. Dan Burton has described himself as a partisan "pit bull," and once performed a re-enactment of Vince Foster's death by shooting bullets into a "headlike object" in his own yard. But the G.O.P.

China's leaders hotly object to Disney's plans to distribute Kundun, a Martin Scorsese-directed film currently in production that tells the story of Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. China's leaders get to play the villains, and they are not amused, to the point of making threatening noises about Disney's future in the great market of the future...
...ease, he's out of his element when not within his own walls. And when those walls come crashing down after Gregers' intrusion, we see Hjalmer's lordly complacency degenerate into frazzled nerves and shrill paranoia, all deftly portrayed by LeBow. Gregers himself is another such object, on one level fit only for ridicule with his self-righteous obstinacy and his utter blindness to Hjalmer's failings. But again the alternative view from the first act of Gregers both upbraiding and cringing from his father reveals a man deeply resentful of his father's betrayal of his mother, and perhaps...
