    By Jack Hamilton • December 3, 2009 2:49 pm

    Black Friday, that wonderful all-day experience of excess and possessiveness, is now behind us and we concentrate on the real meaning of “the season.” We can all work to understand how we can best participate in the “Joy and good tidings” part.

    Congress continues to try to find a way to disregard the voice of the American people and enact a health reform bill that is contrary to the clear majority of constituents. So much for “representative” government.

    TORRENS TALK Giving thanks is a universal language
    By Val Torrens • November 26, 2009 3:17 pm

    Today used to be the “official” start of the holiday season. For many, Santa Claus showing up at the end of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was the true beginning. Sadly, that is no longer the norm.

    I think it is fair to say if I were to say the word “homeless,” many would think of people standing around with various signs attempting to get money or food. Many of us would conjure up visions of alcoholics who choose to live day-to-day looking for just enough to get a buzz. I know I have had these thoughts before. I am ashamed of myself for it, but I am at least willing to admit it.
