If it coincides with the majority's religious holiday, great. – Hemant Mehta	Found on CNN 8 years ago
Yes to the trees, because it's fun, yes to the gifts, yes to spending the time with the family, i think if you saw what I do on paper and didn't know anything else about me, you would assume I'm religious. I think the only thing we're not doing is, we're not doing a church service. But there are Christmas carols playing in my in-laws' house right now, and none of us are religious. It's just kind of nice. – Hemant Mehta	Found on CNN 8 years ago

The trends that we saw linguistically all point to a larger shift in the way society thinks about identity as being more fluid, which was evidenced by the increase in related events and news headlines. – Liz McMillan	Found on CNN 8 years ago

The fast fashion companies are like drug pushers : they go to these countries promising to lift millions out of poverty, they get the business, and then once they start production in that country they start pushing prices down, they can always impose the lowest wages and local governments and entire countries are enslaved by that.
