This was the city where the kids couldn't ring bells for the Salvation Army because some parent got offended? I'll bet they wish each other "Merry Christmas!"

I've posted on this subject in the past weeks. I did my part today at East Towne Mall, and I must admit I was braced for controversy, but every single person that gave us some jing in the red Salvation Army bucket was really friendly and also responded with a "Merry Christmas" when we threw one their way, too. (The free Candy Canes night have helped, LOL!)
Madison gets a bad rap, and I'm a BIG contributor to smacking them down as much as possible, but for the most part, from what I observed TODAY, most of them are decent, caring people. They have no control over the Yellow/Red Journalism that's foisted upon us for the most part. In my observations today, and most days, I really don't think that Madison people are politcally aware. I think that for the most part, they really don't give a rip as to what's going on around them, and that saddens me. It's like the blanket of Socialism can gently settle around their shoulders in these cold winter months, and they just apreciate the warmth or something.
This is a very, very perplexing place to live. It's easy to paint everyone with a broad brush, but from what I witnessed today, people around here aren't ALL bad.
(Awe, Jeeze! She's going soft on us in the Spirit of Christmas or something, LOL!)
