Things I am thankful for:
1) I am thankful that we live in a high-tech society where this sort
of discussion is even physically possible.
2) I am thankful that we can have a long debate on religion without
anyone being in danger of being arrested and charged with heresy,
blasphemy or just plain being of the wrong religion (or lack of
religion, or having religion at all).
3) I am thankful that for the most part, this discussion has been
intelligent, civil & courteous. I hate flamefests.
4) I am *deeply* thankful that I am not a turkey (and neither is
anyone else I know).
"WHAT IS THIS DANCE?"
"Harvest dance. You know? It's tradition. When the
harvest is in. It's sort of a celebration, and like a
thanksgiving."
"THANKSGIVING TO WHO?"
"Dunno. No one in particular, I reckon. Just general
thankfulness, I suppose."
-- Death & Mrs. Flitworth, from "Reaper Man", by Terry Pratchett.
