Since the 1950s, many people in the United States have sought to build a more united and civil society. That these noble efforts have largely failed is obvious. What’s less obvious is the Why and How of this failure of many Americans to behave like responsible adults.

Every time the holiday season rolls around arrogant, uninformed Christians start insisting that “Jesus is the reason for the season.” Here and now, fully a week before Thanksgiving, I’m seeing memes on Facebook about “It’s Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays.” They seem to not notice that there are THREE holidays coming up.
