I agree with some former press secretary I saw interviewed on the issue. The whole current controversy over Shrub's greeting card and tree is a sad sign of national insecurity. I'm not offended by any form of the greeting, but feel more personally addressed when it takes my own faith or lack of into account... which is why a generic term is used when addressing many people. It's etiquette really. That's all.

Of course, the right wing are using this issue of etiquette to polarize people about the separation between church and state. That's something that I find more worrisome than what a greeter at Wal-Mart might say to me.
