Commentary seems superfluous. This is even sicker than my previous post.

Instead of posting "Thanksgiving Prayer" by William S. Burroughs like the rest of you traitorous louts*, I went and found an article from the Independent Institute about the real meaning of Thanksgiving. I don't think I'm giving much away when I tell you in advance that the real meaning of Thanksgiving, like the real meaning of everything else, is "YAY CAPITALISM."

Feast and football. That’s what many of us think about at Thanksgiving. Most people identify the origin of the holiday with the Pilgrims’ first bountiful harvest. But few understand how the Pilgrims actually solved their chronic food shortages.
Hey, I know this one! Exploiting the knowledge and generosity of indigenous people, only to slaughter them later.
Many people believe that after suffering through a severe winter, the Pilgrims’ food shortages were resolved the following spring when the Native Americans taught them to plant corn and a Thanksgiving celebration resulted. In fact, the pilgrims continued to face chronic food shortages for three years until the harvest of 1623. Bad weather or lack of farming knowledge did not cause the pilgrims’ shortages. Bad economic incentives did.
That's right, kids. The Pilgrims were commies.
( Cut like a rich guy's taxes. )
