However, your memory of the show is way off. In fact, Rudolph had just finished outdoing all of the other reindeer in the flying department. Everyone was stoked about it, until his nose was revealed. That's when Santa approached Donner and said: "Donner, you should be ashamed of yourself. What a pity. He had a nice take-off, too." Santa was 100 percent unconcerned with Rudolph's performance and focused only on the nose. Finally, you make a fantastic point about evolution and mutation.

Technically, one that is not real, cannot walk, speak, or give presents.<BR/><BR/>however....<BR/><BR/>if santa is real, then we must distiguish if he is Man or something else.<BR/><BR/>Man is not immune from committing ignorant acts. Even Jesus had to do something stupid at some point in his life (oh crap...RD, i think I just trumped Sleek...he may not get presents...but I think I just bought a one-way ticket straight to Hell.)<BR/><BR/>Maybe I need to research this movie again. I don't recall Santa "ridiculing" Donner as much as being disappointed in his ability to sire a normal, productive, flying, reindeer.<BR/><BR/>But one of the reasons I love this story, is that it illustrates the process of evolution brilliantly. A mutant becomes necessary, and just when we think we got it figured out about how to get presents around the world, we get surprised by a glowing nose.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15639734066581999412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950488057894149622.post-21587577182800067492007-12-06T15:04:00.000-05:002007-12-06T15:04:00.000-05:00dm: Thank you!

If ever there was a person who ignorance would never touch, it would most certainly be Santa. When we listen to the Rudolph song in the car, the kids always ask why the reindeer made fun of Rudolph. They can't grasp why someone would not be nice to someone just because they look different. I have to tell them that it's just a story that someone made up, and that Santa and his reindeer would never act that way.Susan Chipleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03976362672129891492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950488057894149622.post-39991282953800646302007-12-06T13:46:00.000-05:002007-12-06T13:46:00.000-05:00rd: Dude, Santa Claus was the first in line to fil...rd: Dude, Santa Claus was the first in line to file a slander law suit against Montgomery Ward and General Electric, the companies that commissioned and sponsored the show in the first place! ;)SleekPelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13113791901297551978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950488057894149622.post-88207765088970090202007-12-06T10:30:00.000-05:002007-12-06T10:30:00.000-05:00you have been reported. nothing but coal for you....you have been reported. nothing but coal for you.
