Truth that Ghosts say
Published on December 7, 2004 By InfoGeek In Current Events
There is a scene in most movies about the Christmas Carol. The first time I saw it was in the Muppet Christmas Carol. It is when Scrooge meets the Ghost of Christmas Present. Scrooge normally enters a large room in his robe and pajamas and there in the room:

Heaped up on the floor, to form a kind of throne, were turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking-pigs, long wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, barrels of oysters, red-hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked apples, juicy oranges, luscious pears, immense twelfth-cakes, and seething bowls of punch, that made the chamber dim with their delicious steam. In easy state upon this couch, there sat a jolly Giant, glorious to see:, who bore a glowing torch, in shape not unlike Plenty's horn, and held it up, high up, to shed its light on Scrooge, as he came peeping round the door.

`Come in.' exclaimed the Ghost. `Come in. and know me better, man.'

That to me is what God wants. Come one, come all. Come to the feast that I have for you. Come Jew, Gentile, Muslim or Atheist Come in. and know me better, man.'

Scrooge is mostly portrayed as not caring about his fellow mn, lacking compassion. He did not give to the charities that helped the poor and homeless, loans were paid on time. No excuses. More of the selfmade man.

Remember: Are there not workhouses, no prisons?"
