Era Might Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) [url="http://www.catholicexchange.com/vm/index.asp?vm_id=2&art_id=31760&sec_id=#section61094"]http://www.catholicexchange.com/vm/index.a...d=#section61094[/url] [quote]The event promotes other offenses. Groundhog Day is organized by a group of men known as the "Inner Circle." These are the fellows who wear top hats and tuxedos and yank Phil out of the tree stump. As usual, it is the men who are exploiting a helpless little creature for profit and greed, and men who have kept women out of leadership positions within their Inner Circle clique. The hypocrisy of these fellows is staggering. They boast of how they pamper Phil. He lives in a heated home and is fed delicious treats, they say. He lives better than most humans, they promise. They're especially proud of one particularly disgusting tidbit. Phil has a harem. The men of the Inner Circle provide Phil with three young female companions to take the edge off his lonely bachelor existence. That's right, this band of brothers is trafficking in "woodchucks of the night." Aside from all the hypocrisy and the clear violation of the separation clause, what is the point of conducting this primitive annual ritual, now that we live in such progressive times?

azaelia Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Feb 2 2006, 07:28 AM']I never understood Groundhog's Day... Six more weeks of winter? Isn't that a GOOD thing? That means that spring hits by mid-March rather than... say, mid-April...

Thumper Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Little Known Groundhog Trivia: Elton John contributes 10% of all sales of the song, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" to needy groundhog's who can't earn a dime the other 364 days of the year. "I can't light no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life Too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me." I really admire his understanding of the plight of the groundhog. Some people say they don't even try to get employment, but I think the groundhogs are dealing the best they can with post-traumatic stress disorder and the inherent prejudices of bourgeois capitalism. Way to stick it to the man, Phil! You give him six more weeks of winter!! Groundhog power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
