And good health to you, John. Tony started this thread with the best of intentions and I'm sorry that I allowed the mention of that DATE to trigger a 'negative' response. I had hoped to explain why. Obviously, no one cared why. We (Americans) have a history of avoiding some of the more unpleasant parts of our past, and I suppose that's understandable. But in the words of Churchill, "those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it". The ever-widening divisions that are so evident in this country at this time should be a clear warning for us to heed those words. If we truly believe in the spirit of THANKSGIVING, then we should be working full time to help bridge these divides. When that happens, I'll happily celebrate Thanksgiving 365 days a year.
Again, let me be perfectly clear; this was in NO WAY a snipe at Guitpic1, whose mention of the PBS (which I'm a fan of) special was purely innocent, I'm sure. Have a good day, folks.
