I was searching for something interesting to say about Thanksgiving and found the most pathetic stories of how we abused the Indians and then gave thanks for our prosperity and act like it's our God given right.
Ugh. Dreadful.
And then we have the nerve to cheapen it further by calling it Turkey Day. What the heck are we worshipping really?
Sorry. Gonna walk it off. Did you know that my maternal grandfather was full blooded Cherokee? humpf. Turkey Day my butt. Should call it Thank the Indians for the Fact You Survived Day.

We celebrated Thanksgiving by visiting the Museum of the American Indian in D.C. You should go. It is a beautiful building full of lots that you would like. The cafeteria serves some of the best food I've eatten - all representing the foods of various tribes. What I learned is that worrying about what race we are is not too important. We are all 100% human. We should honor our heritage and respect the heritage of one another.People sometimes do bad things, but people also do good and wonderful things. I am thakful for my heritage and for the heritage of all people who make this country my home.
Happy Thanksgiving.
