Giving up their lives and mindlessly following like sheep to keep those CEOs in their cushy and manipulative towers. War casualties (religious or corporate) are just prime examples of the very best Darwinism in action. GO! Lemmings! GO! Thanks! For erasing your weak-willed stupidity genes from the human race!

Thankgiving is not a "christian" holiday and it is not a patriotic holiday. It has nothing to do with war (that's Memorial Day) and it has nothing to do with the cross (that's Easter). It's a day for giving thanks. -- Ray Fischer rfischer(a)sonic.net

A bit hard to fix the darkness though.

The cross I though was a generic Christian symbol and not just for Easter? As you say it is not about "war" though I thought (btw I am not American so this is a genuine request for information) that it was thanks giving for landing in the Americas safely and making the crossing? It would be "Christian" as most/all? of them were some what zealous in their Christian beliefs hence leaving Europe. I am not sure that originally it was "patriotic" as there was no country as such to be patriotic about? Didn't that come later? -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |
