[Farmall] xams

[Mike Schmudlach]

To keep this on topic.......when I was in Vatican City I didn't see a single
Farmall,  they did have a FIAT driving around..........so I guess it is IH
related since Fiat is the parent company of CNH Global.
They didn't even care at the Vatican that I wasn't a christian.  Being
raised Ho-Chunk, I am a member of the Medicine Lodge and that is a religion
much older than the birth of Christ.
I always figured God was too Big for just one Religion.  :-)  My brothers
kids are Jewish and I and Susie were married by a Black Baptist
minister..........The world is just one big village.

Mike

December 25th is nothing other than  than a shameless activity of commerce
on the parts of retail whores.

writing,  where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of ,
"Christ." In  this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian,
"Christian." But  people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often
mistakenly interpret  Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ksms). Many
therefore frown  upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial
convenience  that omits Christ from Christmas.
