The Christmas Rush

This is the time of year when Christmas carols are playing nonstop and everyone goes broke buying presents they can't afford for friends and family. There are bonuses and parties, and even I get invited to some of them. But there's a sad side. This is also the time of year when people fight over children. "The Christmas rush" is what one domestic relations lawyer calls it. This is when I feel bad for custody masters and judges. I feel bad for a parent who will spend Christmas alone. I feel even worse for the children.

    Despite your extensive efforts to present yourself as a curmudgeon, Bernie, you've got a big heart.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
