Oh, surely, these days Thanksgiving has to be about the most non-denominational event in the American Calendar. A person does not need to be a christian, or for that matter embrace any other particular religious belief system, to acknowledge the hundreds of things for which we have every reason to be thankful. If anything, Thanksgiving could - and perhaps should - be looked on as the one occasion the year when ALL Americans, regardless of racial origins, skin color, religious beliefs - or any other category of thing you can think of-can come together in a single point of common agreement - that we DO have so much to be thankful for, and truly grateful.

Innocent Southern women and children and men killed by those damn Yankees.city's burned. 20 years of occupation. why should I celebrate a holiday he declared
