Thanksgiving Post Day 1

HOW THANKSGIVING DAY HAS CHANGED IN MODERN TIMES

The pilgrims started Thanksgiving Day by breaking thanksgiving bread with the Indians. Today many Americans enjoy Thanksgiving Day gambling in Indian Casinos losing all their bread.

President Truman started the tradition of the President of the United States pardoning the White House turkey as a gesture of goodwill. Starting with President Clinton after he pardons the turkey, Republicans call for the Attorney General to appoint an independent counsel to investigate why he pardoned the turkey.

When Thanksgivings Day began it was a time when people shared their food with Indians. Today we pay disrespect to Indians by naming football teams such as the Redskins after their ethnicity and watching Cowboys.

Originally the Pilgrims had thanksgiving as a day of prayer. Today American still consider it a day of prayer as they pray for their favorite football team to win.

Thanksgiving started as the season to give thanks for our union with our families. Today we give thanks not just for our families but for our stepfather's families and our stepmother's families. We celebrate our dysfunctional families as a truly American phenomenon.
