I don't particularly care for Christianity, but my heart went out to the designer of the greeting card with a chocolate cross attached that was on sale at the corner drugstore. _May His Light Shine Upon You_, it said on the front, and _Happy Easter_ inside, as if some foresight-burdened defender of the faith had reasoned, "We know we're powerless to _stop_ the secular commercialization of our holy day, but maybe we can slow it down, just a bit."

A sentiment to remember for the day when _your_ favorite ideology ends up on the wrong side of history.
