Turkey Day

We all know where Thanksgiving really came from, right?

If not, I've provided a link to a nice summation of the history...

Now I do suggest that you do your own bit of research on the matter, as I would suggest with any information. But it looked pretty good to me (not that I'm a definitive source of any kind of history). I did find one guy who was very biased in his "analysis" of the holiday as he used only one primary source in his "discovery" of the first Thanksgiving. He failed to note the one that took place 2 years before, but he did find the space to mention the failures of communism while he praised America's "free market." *shrugs* I don't know *shrugs again*

Let's see... What did they tell me in school? Ah yes.

It was the day that the Pilgrams landed on Plymouth Rock and had a feast with their new friends the Indians; laughing, singing, and enjoying turkey and a bountiful harvest, and friendship...

But it was really in the days following the time when the white settlers landed on this great big rock we call America, slaughtered (with not only guns but also pestilence and disease), enslaved, and stole from hundreds of "Indians" aka Native Americans... and gave thanks for all that beautiful destruction by eating turkey... year after year

Be careful people... history books are evil...
