Ah, Thanksgiving. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Thanksgiving is less about giving thanks for a bountiful harvest, and more a celebration of gluttony, greed, pride, lust, wrath, sloth, and envy -- in short, all the deadly sins wrapped up in one delicious, basted turkey package.
It is possibly also a celebration of the triumph of capitalism over socialism.
Oh, and imperialism, let's not forget that one.
You can feel secure in the knowledge that you are advancing your civic duty whilst you ritualistically gorge yourself on high-calorie sweetmeats.
