Well, this year, it includes all the standard Jewish and Christian holidays, but now it also has Islamic, Buddist, Hindu, Baha'i, and even Wiccan!

For South Carolina, I call that progress. Now all we need is some Atheists to mae up some holidays and we'll see if we can get those stuc on next year's calander.

Thats pretty cool Veil, especially for a group of redneck farmers...down at Clemson.

Just kidding.....could not resist my UNC roots.

<Thomas Paine and Robert Ingersoll would be good ones to start out with.>

And surely there's a more recent place for Sagan and Azimov.

There are too many brilliant atheists to give them all a holiday. Besides, we're not really into that kind of veneration of deceased persons, are we? I bet half the people named would "roll over in their graves"

if they knew such a thing was being proposed. Not that they possibly could mind, what with being dead and all. I'm just sayin'.
