Some serious humbug action

[chrish]

A Santa hat-wearing school bus driver on Long Island, N.Y., has won the right to keep wearing his festive headgear, Newsday reported.
Kenneth Mott, who keeps a long, white beard, almost lost his job after a parent called the bus management to complain. Mott, who has worn the red and white hat every Christmas since he started with the Bauman & Sons bus company five years ago, was ordered to stop wearing the hat because a child didn't believe in Santa Claus and was bothered by the hat.

"I said, 'What, are you kidding me?'" Mott recalled. "I thought it was a big joke," Newsday reported.
However, after Mott told other parents he might be fired for wearing the hat, supervisors changed their stance and said he could continue to wear the hat.

There was a bus driver out here that would shaves off his beard a couples days after Christmas and let it grow out all year and by Christmas he looked like Santa, I mean even though it was in my middle school days and I didn't believe in Santa anymore, it was cool and mildly entertaining. Seriously, people are getting crazy and not just with this Christmas thing. People just want to sue for every little fucking thing and they are just getting so ignorant. It's driving me nuts. Sometimes I wonder where people left their brains and I really wish I could just move to a different planet where I wouldn't have to deal with the way the world is starting to look. I mean Saginaw, where I live used to be pretty nice and I mean there would be a shooting here and there just like everywhere else, but we've had one almost everyday of the flipping year. I mean, I remember maybe five days when the news didn't say someone got shot. Like I remember when I was younger, I used to be so excited thinking about my different birthdays (i.e: 13, 16, 18, 21....) and then thinking about different times in my life (i.e: graduating HS, going to college, graduating again, finding a decent job, getting married, possibly having kids... etc.) And I was excited to grow older and basically do what I saw my parents doing everyday, raising a family and making a living, and now have the time I think about my future it's like are we going to get attacked again, are we ever going to get the troops out of Iraq, how many more jobs are we going to lose in this damn state (which they said I think last month was the last state in growth %), etc. Sorry to go on, but yeah, I try to have fun, for being twenty and all I owe it to myself, but I stress way too much on my future, and well, it scares me.

I could like so turn this into a paper for my POL class. Lol.
