In Reply to: Christmas Program at country school posted by Nebraska Cowman on December 14, 2005 at 03:47:44:
Cowman, I am a product of the rural school system (2 rooms K-8). We always had a Christmas program with nativity pagentry, verse recitation, and singing followed by the appearance of Santa. Our farming community was made up of people of all faiths and ethnic backgrounds, yet I never heard of one person ever complaining that his or her religious or cultural traditions were either mocked , ignored or suppressed. I don"t know where all this nonsense of denying certain religious or cultural practices began, but it has been destructive to our American culture. In addition to working on a farm, I also work part time in a department store, whose roots date back more than a century, and to see the way they have surrendured to the politically correct lunatics is appalling to say the least. Many of you here are aware of my lack of restraint when debating an issue, and you can be sure I"ve said plenty to the corporate powers to be as to the total lack of fortitude on their part. In fact, I look around the store and see nothing to even suggest that it is any sort of holiday season. What spindless jellyfish we have running some of our businesses and schools today as well as our other valued institutions. I went so far as to tell my store manager that had the same morons who developed this year"s advertising campaign for holiday sales been employed as apprentices by Donald Trump, they would have been fired the first week of the show. It is as bad as it can possibly get in a business sense. Has anyone ever celebrated "Wish Big"? Didn"t think so. Anyway, I"ve noticed that in the last few days that the backlash to business has caught up, both in customer complaints, and where it counts the most, the cash register. I live in a town where, thankfully, All holidays are celebrated, and respected. I live in a town where school children sing carols, walk by the nativity scene on the courthouse lawn, and walk past the manorah to stand in line to have a chat with Santa. While times have changed much from the rural school days, there are still some traditions that the lunatics will have a hard time wresting from our lives, and that is good. I hope everyone is celebrating this season in whichever way they see fit, for we all have much to celebrate.

Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
