Thanksgiving was always one of my favorite family holidays till recently, now I kind of dread the politics of it. I think I will print this out to use as place mats.

David Brooks: Let's start with story about a rabbi who came to the synagogue with two pieces of paper in his pocket. One said the world was created for me and the other said I am nothing but dust and ashes. And the reason the rabbi carried those papers is they were both equally true. So when dealing with health care or any other issue, it's normal to have two opposing ideas be equally true. In Obamacare, it would cover millions of new people and it's also true that the website doesn't work well and it may hurt the economy. So, the big issues are always about balance. ... :lol:

what I feel dense sometimes about festivities & the whole end of the year stuff is the high social atmospheric pressure about "how" you somehow "ideally" must feel about it .... the whole too much emphasis on "we give the spirit & heart thing..." sometimes trying to delete with one hand what you wrote with another ... which always adds a plus of complication ... :roll: :lol:

Nevertheless, I usually like them for one reason or another...! & the turkey is ready! :wink::

America™ the only country to be born perfect and we been trying improve it for a 150 years.

America the home of the brave and the land of the scared sh*tless

the turkey is ready the goose is cooked
The white meat is on the run, and the dark meat is far too done.
the black wind still moans
sweet revenge without fail
don't mean nothing just having fun with words listening to the music
