I'll be on the road for the Thanksgiving holiday, flying and traveling them friendly skies but I thought I'd leave everyone with some thoughts for Thanksgiving.
Traditional America is disappearing quicker than you can shake a stick at, but this is one of a few times of the year when traditions still hold on firmly. Few people know the true significance of Thanksgiving, let me summarize it in a nutshell.
When the Pilgrims came over to this country, they embraced a "utopian" style organization similar to that of a commune. One where each person would grow their crops, then harvest them and place them in the town square or other meeting place, so that the other citizens could take what they needed. Share and share alike, awwww, isn't that nice? Well guess what? It wasn't nice and they almost starved to death! (See where liberal-style handouts get a society?)
It wasn't until they embraced a capitalistic system and people planted their crops in the pursuit of a PROFIT that the community began to produce. In fact, once people saw how much money they could make and still get all the things their families needed, the Pilgrims had so much SURPLUS that they began to trade with the local Indians.
Now how many of you folks out there knew that one? I'll bet not many because it has never been taught in government schools to the best of my knowledge. Hmmmmm, maybe someone wants to keep it a secret!
P.S.- Don't eat turkey before driving, you could fall asleep at the wheel! :)
