Lizzie, you don't make me uncomfortable because you are speaking the truth.
Thanksgiving has a religious slant to it. Why not be thankful all year around?

The idea of stuffing yourself with turkey and all the other unhealthy ingredients for a dinner is repulsive to me. How does this indicate any kind of reasonable "thanksgiving"?
It's the worst kind of conspicuous consumption.

The White Man has appropriated much from Native Americans while enslaving them; the history is there. Agriculture is a big one. The Iroquois Longhouse is another, a form of real democracy in action.

Leave it to Lincoln, who didn't respect Native Americans, to proclaim this holiday on a certain date.
