Christmas Carol and El

I suspect there is a bit of us in every time we read a Christmas Carol. We are parts Tiny Tim, parts Bob Cratchit, parts Fred, parts Scrooge, parts Marley, parts Ghost of Christmas Past, parts Ghost of Christmas Present, parts Ghost of Christmas Future. Seems we are likely parts Dickens. Though we want to be only the good part, we are parts of all. All that...for jiminy Christmas Pete's sak, for crying ñ

really?

A reality show actor opines about gay people. The world reacts. The actor may be removed from the show. The show may be cancelled. There is uproar. The show is about a family that makes duck call devices. The main actor talks to ducks. There uproar about his personal views. He makes duck calls. He speaks to ducks. This matters. We are all quacking up.
