“There’s so many choices here, a man could half-starve before picking breakfast.”
— Ol’ Thinkypants
THAT MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY WILL NOT long endure whose members celebrate every festival but their own(1). C’mon people — whatever your tradition is, it got Grandma and Grandpa over here, fed them through wars and afflictions, and kept them and your folks together long enough to produce you. Don’t you want to know their secret? So dust off the shelf, pick up whatever’s yours and have at. It’s yours by right of succession through love; It only lives in that way when someone qualified is at the controls — and that’s you!.
So don’t dabble — delve! and remember what Ol’ Thinkypants says: “Drink deep, or don’t even spit.”
