The world is still playing a game of pandemic Mexican roulette. Nature spins the chamber; man pulls the trigger; the gun goes off, but the cartridge misfires. We dodged a H1N1 bullet. The swine flu in spite of fears failed to live up, or kill up, to its billing, at least not yet. What if it had became 1918 all over again? The great plague of Spanish flu devastated the world to a greater extent than the horrors of all the poison gases, machine guns, and trench warfare of WW1. Some estimates of death from March of 1918 to June 1920 were as high as 100 million victims from a variation of H1N1.
In a syndicated assessment of the 2008 election, one usually thoughtful conservative columnist employed the following descriptions of Catholic Obama supporters: "decadent," "tribal," "immoral," "certainly stupid," "mindless," and in need of basic "adult education." [...] those were all in a single paragraph! Speaking movingly to a conference organized by the Pontifical Council for Assistance to Health Care Workers on the theme of "Pastoral Care of Sick Children," Benedict XVI noted that every year some 4 million newborns around the world die within four weeks after birth, often because of poverty, poor health-care systems, and armed conflict.

At some point in our lives, and for me it was right around age 30, the focus of Christmas changes. As children and even as young, carefree adults, the holiday is mostly about what we want. As grown- ups with grown-up responsibilities like children of our own, Christmas is mostly about what we have to do. After struggling with this transition, in essence mourning the loss of my childhood, I found it of great benefit to my mental health to give myself over to this reality. Yes, I look forward to some time off and relaxing with family and friends, but I've long ago stopped wishing for anything for Christmas, save the wonder in my son's eyes.
