Perhaps Atonement is not what I meant to say. What I feel is important, and what I think you agreed with in your post, is the realization of Truth, in my view that we are all very imperfect, very very imperfect. My post was in response to Truthseekers posting of some history of Thanksgiving. Of course, Thanksgiving was mandated by the Governor of the Plymouth Colony, as was Christianity, and if you didn't do it... well, I suppose you moved to Rhode Island. (after the savages are cleared out, of course) It's not a matter of feeling guilty, rather to recognize that we are capable of gleefully killing others unlike ourselves, and that not one of us may celebrate our wonderfulness without simultaneously recognizing our horribleness. Mr. Burns, we are of our history, of our parents, and our ancestors. We are different, but not so different. I think that is what is important to recognize - and not to go forth in the world with the feeling that somehow we are the Chosen People, and better than others, regardless of how poor, uneducated and imperfect. I think America, being on top of the food chain as we are, easily forgets these things. And that offends me. That is what I mean. To ignore who we are, to ignore history, is to repeat the errors and crimes of our forebears. Of course, this is inevitable. Peter P.S. Happy Thanksgiving gg
