Already this Thanksgiving has brought about more than enough farce.
Sarah Palin conducted a news conference in front of what I believe was a turkey shredder and was perfectly okay with choosing to have turkey slaughtering going on in the same frame as her serious, straight-faced press conference.
Bush pardoned a turkey and all I could think of was that instead of our government deciding which turkey to pardon, the turkeys should have gotten together to decide which Bush Administration official to pardon.
In closing, let’s see if we can’t revamp this holiday and start to make the true origins of Thanksgiving a part of discussions at the dinner table. It may seem awkward at first to talk about Native Americans being killed off by disease while cutting the Thanksgiving turkey, but after a few years of Thanksgiving, attempts to bring up the subject will get easier.
We owe it to them and their remaining ancestors to be reasonable people and stop pretending this holiday is something it's not.
I have no doubts in my mind that you will succeed if you try to discuss the true history of Thanksgiving. You'll speak up and the family will immediately get what you are trying to do: ruin a perfectly good American holiday. Shame on you!
Well, at least it will be better than trying to ruin a perfectly good election. I mean, how dare I ruin a historic election by grumbling on about it?
I really do have a lot to be thankful for. And I owe a lot of thanks to OpEdNews and all the other people who I have met just by being a writer and publisher here at OpEdNews.
Many doors would be closed right now had I not been, for the most part, universally accepted and integrated into the OpEdNews community.
So, happy Thanksgiving.
