Giving thanks

Today is Thanksgiving (a fact which I had forgotten until I logged on this morning). We don't get much sense of it here. It is frankly a holiday about which I have long held misgivings as it celebrates, in its way, what is effectively the beginning of a two or three century long campaign of genocide.

Apparently some schoolteachers in America share my ambivalence and are trying to be a bit more sensitive to the other side. I eagerly await the chorus of right wing disdain, scorn and outrage.

I didn't have to wait very long.

Try not to eat too much!
