I find it funny that the Moral Majority laments any and all attempts to 'remove' Christmas from the holiday season, while failing to realize that Christmas, for the most part, has lost any sort of meaning whatsoever.
Christmas has long since transformed from a holiday of Christianity to a holiday of capitalism. Not that I think this is a bad thing, though. After all, Christmas has become capitalism's greatest gift upon itself.
I just wish the MM would realize that Christmas is no longer a holiday that's exclusive to themselves.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
