The Business of Humanity

It's the one thing I look forward to the most during the holiday season. No, not a nice bottle of bourbon, new socks, or even a subscription to Scary Monsters Magazine (which is pretty cool) but rather the 1951 version of "A Christmas Carol" starring the late, great Alastair Sim as Ebenezer Scrooge.  It's a guttural and uplifting take on the Charles Dickens classic, written 180 years ago, and makes the case that back in 1843 ignorance and want were just as prevalent then as they are today. So, for all our technological advances, the concept that humanity is our main business often gets pushed to the back of the line, when it should be front and center.
