"It's NOT a Wonderful Life"

This time of year,"It's a Wonderful Life" will no doubt be on television more than once and it's a Christmas classic,but George Bailey was NOT the nicest guy when you think about it.....

• When George learns Uncle Billy has lost 8,000 dollars,he grabs him by the collar and screams at him,saying" One of us is going to jail,and it is not going to be me!"George is willing to sell his uncle down the river for a simple mistake!
• After the money is gone,George goes home and goes on an angry rant.When his dear wife Mary asks him what is wrong,he replies"Everythings wrong!You call this a happy family?WHY did we have all these kids?"And he says this right in front of the poor kiddies,at Christmas no less!
• George calls little Zuzu's teacher on the phone and tells her she is "stupid,silly & careless"!
• When Mary chastises George for his shouting at her and the children,he storms out to a bar,where he gets stinking drunk,becomes obnoxious and gets punched out by the husband of the teacher he insulted!He then staggers out of the bar and gets into his car and DRIVES DRUNK!
• In the course of driving home drunk,George forgets to turn on his headlights,smashes into a tree and flees the scene when the homeowner comes out to investigate why there is a car on his lawn!

Were this movie made today,we would see George in,no-UNDER the jail for domestic violence,assault & battery,public intoxication,drunk driving,criminal property damage and leaving the scene of an accident!LOL-boy have times changed!
