thanksgiving - a time when we celebrate the robbing of land from the indians by being gluttonous pigs gathering around a huge, hormone injected bird. what fun! don’t get me wrong, hanging out with family is nice and having the time off of work is even better but come on! do you think the indians celebrate this time of year? probably not.
during my lunch i sat outside to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. a little girl dressed in a make-shift indian dress was walking with her dad. i was tempted to ask her “did any pilgrims give you smallpox today?”. i probably would have if i knew i could get away with it without being punched in the face.
enjoy your thanksgiving and be thankful you’re not a pilgrim. or an indian. or have smallpox.
