With pipeline projects come jobs. It's just plain logic that many people — maybe thousands of people — will be needed to build them. Yet we constantly hear that pipelines won't be as economically lucrative as some believe, because many of the associated jobs will be "temporary." We don't buy it, and we chuckle at how snide America has become in the years since the Great Depression, or even since the economic downturn in 2008-2009.

It's Christmas, and with it comes all the joy and pageantry to anyone who simply wishes it so. Christmas has little to do with gifts and the commercialism with which it has become associated, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with social standing or financial worth. Christmas is what we make of it, and what we wish to believe. It's about traditions and families and togetherness. It's about fellowship and friendship. Christmas is carols and prayers, church and school programs.
