Dear Goykars
I would like to share with our worldwide community through goanet (that has no
borders or visa controls) the following
greeting sent to me. The festive season is a time when we should remember all
our family and friends (even those who we
fight with, don't normally talk to or spend time with during the year). As the
make-up of our worldwide family is red, green,
black, blue passports, etc. here it goes:

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends and colleagues,
but it is difficult in today's world to know exactly
what to say without offending someone. So I met with my lawyer yesterday, and
on advice I wish to say the following:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or otherwise, my best wishes for an
environmentally conscious, socially
responsible, low stress , non addictive, gender neutral celebration of the
summer solstice holiday practiced with the most
enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your
choice, with respect for the religious/secular
persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice
religious or secular traditions at all .
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically
uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the
generally accepted calendar year 2012, but not without due respect for the
calendar of choice of other cultures whose
contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that
Australia is necessarily greater than any
other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical
ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the
wishee .
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms :
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely
transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It
implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for
her/him or others and is void where prohibited
by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. The wish is
warranted to perform as expected within the usual
application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a
new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher .
Best Regards (without prejudice)
Name withheld (Privacy Act).
