Having taken time to take Google to task in our previous post, we now settle into a more pleasant, less contentious mode, and wish everyone, even Democrats, a Happy, Safe, and even a Blessed Thanksgiving. As we sit in front of our televisions and watch the world eviscerate itself in new and different ways every day, we should use this holiday opportunity to take stock of ourselves, our lives, and the fact that we actually have futures to look forward to; and then give thanks to the fact that we somehow were lucky enough to be born in or be able to emigrate to the only country in history that's ever given people of all races, nationalities, and walks of life a decent chance to live long and prosper. Sure, some groups were in the queue longer than they'd planned while others were dragged here against their will. But in the end, we've continually evolved toward something better, even as others seem to grope inexorably toward something worse, particularly in the Middle Eastern portion of the globe.
But here we are, for better or worse and as lucky as all get out to be Americans. Let's not tarnish what we have but, rather, work harder to make it better.
Have a great holiday. We'll save politics for tomorrow and enjoy one of our finer, if somewhat caloric, cultural traditions today without worrying about the other guys!
