The Thanksgiving holidays are upon us. It is a time for families to come together and celebrate family, feast and enjoy a good football game on TV (Except here in Detroit). Nowadays, however, there are those who believe Thanksgiving is wrong and there should be no celebration. To the "Politically Correct", Thanksgiving is symbolic of "European Imperialism" against Aboriginal peoples, Native Americans in this case. Vegetarians and animal rights groups such as PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) reel aganst the holiday for the slaughter of innocent turkeys and try to guilt us into forgoing turkey for tofu. Frankly, I've had it up to my neck with this garbage. If the "PC" crowd does not want to celebrate Thanksgiving (or any other holiday, for that matter), that is their right. Just don't try to impose your views on the rest of us. Self-Righteousness gets old real fast. I'm going to pig out on turkey and watch the Lions. If you have a problem with that....GET STUFFED!!!
Sometime during the Thanksgiving festivities, I hope we all can take a moment to think about those who stand watch while we enjoy ourselves and honor their sacrifice. Those in uniform who serve far from their own homes in the Armed Forces, those who toe the thin blue line on our streets, who wait for the fire alarm they pray doesn't sound and those who stand ready in hospitals hoping not to be needed. I also hope we can take a moment to think about those less fortunate this season, and perhaps find ways to lessen their suffering.
"Enough Said!".....HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
