Thanksgiving (seriously, what's the point?)

Okay. So today, I basically just chilled with my family... and yeah. Hahaha. Went to my cousin's house, chilled there. Watched some TV (a lot of TV) drank about ten gallons of soda (reminds me of UOP, haha) and went to the computer to type this, because I was THAT bored.

Yes, very fun, eh?

Anyway, basically, we're here to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Now, some background, eh?

Thanksgiving was the three day feast that the explorers and the Native Americans had to celebrate (wow, guess what?), of course, giving thanks. The Native Americans befriended the explorers and, without them, the explorers would be dead, and we wouldn't have this annual party. The three day feast featured (you guessed it) some turkey, lobster, pumkin, corn, sweet potatoes, regular mashed potatoes, etc. Search Wiki for the rest. I'm not an encyclopedia.

So what are you thankful for? Me, personally, am thankful for my friends (^^ M.K), the gift of life, school, etc.

But, think about it. Me, as a kritiker of the whole (f**king damn) world, must think of how the status quo reacts to this "holiday".

Do people really care? Honestly, do PEOPLE REALLY CARE?

I know that at school, everyone just looks forward to the week of break we get off (which, I must say, is indeed a godsend). But do people really care about how the NA's "befriended" the explorers?

And think about how we paid the NA's back. By taking over their land, totally raping them of their only possessions. Yes, we're VERY thankful for fucking the Native Americans off their property after all they've done for us.

I wonder if they're thankful for us.

Do people really think about Thanksgiving as a way to celebrate screwing over the NA's? Because that's what it really is. They friend us, and we screw them over.

Why do we even have this date anyway? Just because Lincoln wanted it?

Are we REALLY thankful for this? For our lives? Or do we just take all this for granted?

I personally think it's the latter.
