Quote"This modern version of Thanksgiving would horrify the devout Pilgrims and Puritans who sailed to America in the 17th century. The holiday that gave rise to Thanksgiving — a 'public day' that they observed regularly — was almost the precise opposite of today's celebration. It was not secular, but deeply religious. At its center was not an extravagant meal, but a long fast. And its chief concern was not bounty but redemption: to examine the faults in oneself — and one's community — with an eye toward spiritual improvement."
- Historian Eve Laplante, originally quoted in a 2007 Boston Globe article.

I wish the Indians would have givin the Pilgrims a Donkey instead of a Turkey,then we could all have a piece of A$$ on Thanksgiving......
