I agree with most of your article, but what does sending sheep, goats, chickens, etc. to the poor in other countries teach your children and anyone reading this? It teaches them that the animals sent have no meaning except to be at the mercy of your species (humans) who believe that they can do anything they wish with them--take them by force and ship them to an unfamiliar place, often to end up suffering a cruel existence in "service" to the impoverished who are usually unfamiliar with proper animal care. Check with any of the animal protection non-profits for more info on this, and alternatives which are much more suitable for agricultural gifts to the poor in far off countries.
You write eloquently on the ignorance of Fox News, but show your own when you suggest your way of celebrating the birth of Christ.
Official rhetoric has helped fuel an escalation of tension between the United States and Iran. Do recent negotiations mark a change in direction, or just a temporary detour from the highway to military attack?
