<quoted text>...there's alot of old articles popping up lately. Makes you wonder where and why people go dig them up.

Because most of the current articles are not available for comments. Another proof of this website's decline.

Yep. Some of my ancestors were Protestants in a Catholic country, so they emigrated to Pennsylvania to avoid being hassled for their religion. Not all emigrants came here for financial reasons.

Do you know how that Santa Fe term "peefee" came about?

Yes and I have to apologize and retract my comment because I knew him and he was a gentle soul and a good and kind person.

I wonder where the issue stands for this 2009 holiday (Christmas) season.

Just giving Bill O'Liely a heads up to get ready for the war on Xmas.

I'm certain there will be many Xmas tress in the shopping malls, homes and churches to fully create the holiday spirit.

The Christmas trees had been displayed in these libraries for the past 30 or 40 years, so just because a few people complain then everyone else can't enjoy the trees. I believe it is good for the trees to be there for the students. They are in the library a lot during this time getting ready for exams, but we wouldn't want to offend the select few who can't stand to see the trees.
