'Tis the season...
... when even Mr. Stallman might be transformed by the sight of the handicapped child of an employed developer, and smile benignly as the child, hopeful of a better future, types into Word: "God bless us, every one."

This night all disputes are a form of teasing as far as I'm concerned. One moment when in the shelter created by good and brave and effective people over many years it's possible to see all the serious issues as transitory and benign hopes as lasting.

You can translate Merry Christmas into the wish for happiness of your choice. It'll work.
