NO TREES FOR SEA-TAC


Once again we give into the fear of lawsuits and the fear of offending someone. For the last ten years Christmas trees were part of the holiday settings in Sae-Tac until a Rabbi complained and know all 15 trees are gone. He really didn't want them removed he wanted a menorah and a public lighting ceremony. Of course Sea-Tac didn't want to offend all the other religions there might be and decided to remove the trees. For one thing Christmas trees aren't really a religious symbol a menorah is. What a well decorted tree in Sea-tac would have done was to bring a littel warmth and happiness to some weary travlers.
