Us fat, lazy, and spoiled people can do well to miss a value meal on Sunday, or an adapter for the X-Box on Memorial day.
And besides (lightbulb smiley), think of the enviromental benefits!
Think of all the stores not using electricity...the restaurants not using gas....fewer cars burning gas on the roads...on and on.

Look at the title of the thread!
Rod I don't give a shit who works and who don't, live and let live. I just find it hypocritical people shouting about people working at xmas, or thanksgiving, or whatever, and not consider who is working to keep them warm and fed.

Have you tried more fiber in your diet? (for the 'give a shit' problem )
But I see where your coming from.
I'm not allowed to completely agree, or it wouldn't be "Debate"
It's a me, me, me, me world, though. And white-collar types like the letter writer are only concerned with their own selfish desires

To a certain extent whose desires should they be concerned with? At the end of the day we are all very self-interested indeed we don't come to debate merely as a matter of altruism but to satisfy a need to have our own little voices heard.

That was my point really, don't condemn others while condoning the ones that suit your self welfare.
