Thread: Happy Thanksgiving

JB what Mike wrote is a very good sentiment for how we use the Holiday as a family celebration. This event and it's significance results in the busiest travel period for the year in this country.

Given your passion for history it has significant origins. The first thanks giving was, as legend has it, fashioned by early pioneers who fled hard times and persecution in Europe to seek a reset of life in a new and uncertain world. They were mostly the risk takers who chose to shed those elements and activities that imposed oppression of some sort on their lives rather than remain and whine. A bold lot they.

Or, if you want to believe the self annointed do-gooders they came here to exploit the "native americans"...……….who weren't really native to the continent either, they were just the risk takers who came earlier. But what's a guilt driven human to do. I suspect down your way there's a similar historical framework...…...just not the turkey slaying rituals.
