Wednesday Video

To start off I am posting this video for all of those who look at Thanksgiving as a time for mourning.



For the rest of us Thanksgiving is time to remember our families and our proud American heritage. The amount of generosity and goodness that comes from this nation has never seen it's equal. I think we all should be thankful for that.

For those of you who can't seem to get beyond the crimes of our past and the persecution of the Noble Savage, remember this, the majority of the Indians were sadly lost to an invisible killer shortly after first contact. Well before people even knew what a microbe was, or that Indians were so defenseless to them.

"The exhibit points out that disease was the chief cause of suffering after European contact. Therefore, the horrors that beset The Ancient Americas following 1492 would have happened if the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María had been manned by Jimmy Carter, the Dalai Lama, and Bono." - O'Rourke

Also, as Medved reminds us, how many people do you know who is 1/4 or 1/8 or even 1/32 indian? Countless? The settlers didn't kill the Indians, they slept with them. (Or did the indians sleep with the settlers? I get that confused.) :)

Don't let guilt get in the way of your Holiday.
