A friend forwarded the following to me; I reproduce it for your enjoyment, admitting I share the sender's sentiment:

Subject: Humor: Politically correct 12 Days of Christmas
After my sermon on the fact that Christmas lasts for
12 days, I can't help sending out this item, even
though I believe I sent it out last year. Anyway, it's
one of MY favorite Christmas parodies, and worth
seeing again IMHO. So if you've read it before, and/or
are not amused, well, that's what the "delete" button
is for!

Twelve Politically Correct Days of Christmas
On the 12th day of the Eurocentrically imposed
midwinter festival, my Significant Other in a
consenting adult, monogamous relationship gave to me:
TWELVE males reclaiming their inner warrior through
ritual drumming
ELEVEN pipers piping (plus the 18-member pit orchestra
made up of members in good standing of the Musicians
Equity Union as called for in their union contract
even though they will not be asked to play a note)
TEN melanin deprived testosterone-poisoned scions of
the patriarchal ruling class system leaping
NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression
EIGHT economically disadvantaged female persons
stealing milk-products from enslaved Bovine-Americans
SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally protected
wetlands
SIX enslaved Fowl-Americans producing stolen non-human
animal products
FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced
domestic incarceration
(NOTE: after members of the Animal Liberation Front
threatened to throw red paint at my computer, the
calling birds, French hens and partridge have been
reintroduced to their native habitat. To avoid
further Animal-American enslavement, the remaining
gift package has been revised.)
FOUR hours of recorded whale songs
THREE deconstructionist poets
TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled
processed tree carcasses and...
ONE Spotted Owl activist chained to an old-growth pear
tree.

Feara400 asks, "Does this have something to do with me riding on public lands?"
Yes, Feara400. While an explanation may remove some of its magic, I will attempt explaining the vague and obscure connection.
The parody of the "Twelve Days of Christmas," by literary means of satire/sendup/spoof, exposes the misplaced compassion of ecological extremists and the fanatically politically correct. In my view, the barbs are delivered with some elgance and humor.
The targets of the satire, so-called "eco-freaks" and worse, are enemies of your right to ride on public lands.
I hope you're not offended by the post in this forum or by the explanation above. If so, as the originator says, that's what your "delete" button is for.
Best wishes for restoration of riding on public lands in your state.
