The Christmas Story Revisited…

Good evening, Netizens...

Occasionally cartoonist David Horsey of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says what I attempt to say with words with an eloquent pen, and in this case, he does so with a savage vision.

If a man named Jose showed up at youir doorstep with his pregnant wife Maria looking for a place to spend a night would you offer them a place to stay or would you, as our innkeeper does, vent your spleen on the man and send he and his pregnant wife packing?

Somehow this question as portrayed by David Horsey seems O so apt, given how close we are to Christmas Day. It does give you pause for thought, doesn't it? Knowing what you believe to be true, would you have the courage and conviction to offer them a place to spend the night?
