Of course stronger people have always kicked the sh*t out of the weaker. My original post was to describe what I believe to be the hypocrisy of it, though, in America. A Day for Thanks is a great concept, I feel, but I perceive it more as self-celebration day - rah rah with the football and the righteous Christianity. We celebrate that we are rich, that we are stronger, and while we do so, I think you will agree, we should, in the interest of Truth, also celebrate that we won the land fair and square through genocide and war. The land is so much of our wealth. Not to minimize the amazing ingenuity America has shown - just to complete the picture and be honest about it. You don't hear on Thanksgiving, "We are thankful that we had gunpowder and so were able to kill the existing denizens of this Continent and thereby develop the land in our own way which has led to so much wealth" Most folks want the Germans and Japanese to bear a sense of responsibility and humility for their nations' crimes in WW2 - and what of our own? We don't have to! We won. Peter
