We solved the problem of the Pro Abort owners by buying gorgeous imitation poinsettias—a lot of them. They are so real looking, you actually want to go up and smell them. They are trotted out each year from under plastic covers in the attic and decorate the house for Christmas.

Gorgeous!

Happy Christmas!
Frank

During my reply (minute 23:07) I reminded Jerry that I, a Catholic, sent him and his program director at the radio station a Christmas photocard of my family that had a drawing of a cross in it surrounded by poinsettia branches and it stated “Feliz Navidad” and whether or not he took offense to that.

He said that that was fine because he knew I had sent those cards to a lot of different people. How different would it be that management sends poinsettias to different people in his residential complex? What would be the difference between me sending Feliz Navidad photocards to 60 people and someone giving 60 residential units poinsettias?

Time for a link to the story of the Evil Genius behind the promotion
of what Jerry Klein apparently thinks is a “non-kosher” plant.
(Of course, the Evil Genius is one of those D-mned Southerners,
so he was obviously running a Christian Fundamentalist Slave-Holder
plot with those poinsettias!)
(yes, I am being facetious)

I don’t accept poinsettias either. They are toxic to domestic livestock, which is what I’m equipped with.

That's NOT a rumor. Poinsettia's belong to the Genus Euphorbia . ALL plants in this genus contain a milky sap that can be anywhere from "irritating" to very poisonous.

According to the POISINDEX information source - the primary resource used by the majority of poison control centers nationwide - a child who weighed 50 lbs. would have to eat over 500 poinsettia leaves to reach an even potentially toxic dose of compounds in the poinsettia plant.

The manager is the one who was politically correct. Jerry is just an ingracious whiner.

When the manager stopped the practice of giving the flowersd as a gift, the manager was kowtowing to the whiners. Just as a school district or city to the ACLU.

i assidously pick up the dead leaves and have most of the poinsettia plants in the dining and living rooms, which are babygated off from the pups, but at most they have gotten the trots from munching a fallen leaf.

Actually, HOAs often function like sovereign city-states. They can establish regulations and impose fines. If residents can’t afford the fines because they accumulate, they can force the homeowner to sell their home to pay off the fines, thus finding a legal way to get rid of the ‘bad element’ in their midst.

True, but in addition to this, they are also not constrained by some of the rules of government, that is, they might not necessarily be bound by the same rules restricting the "imposition of religion" by which government might otherwise be bound.

I can’t see why Jerry is upset, after all, they’re “Red” just like “liberals”...

FELIZ NAVIDAD TO ALL OF YOU!

I went into Borders to get a Christmas gift card and the gift cards had the following options: Happy Holidays, Happy Hannukah, or Feliz Navidad.

Merry Christmas in the english language was just too much for Borders Bookstore to bear apparently.
