On an routine phone call with my still intellectually engaged and socially active ninety year old Mom, tonight, she was expressing her

gratitude for many family and numerous other blessings over the years. Last one, and she had done the math, "Bob, can you believe

this will mark ninety Thanksgivings, almost 33,000 days. ...[text shortened]... ne fit my lungs perfectly."



Best Thanksgiving Wishes to You and Your Family.

Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeons, destined
to be shat out through wholesome
American guts.


Thanks for a continent to despoil
and poison.

Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.

Thanks for vast herds of bison to
kill and skin leaving the
carcasses to rot.

Thanks fo m Burroughs

Well enough crafted poem to warrant forgiveness of its dismissal of manifest destiny and cynical bleeding heart sentiment. Ezra Pound

or even William Carlos Williams Burroughs is not. Even HOH overlooks a sad but true historical fact. The gradual selling of the collective

souls of the American Indians = a compensatory consequence to using corn for toilet paper instead learning how to turn it into whiskey.

P.S. Would invite you to browse the 'Greatest Problem in The World Today' thread. It touches on a few other manifestations of ignorance.

To you and yours as well, Shav. Your literary projects are soaring to accustomed heights I would imagine. Hope none are bogged down.

Cynicism is often mistaken for wisdom. I prefer to see the glass half full instead of half empty. And to be thankful for the blessings I have.

Sole purpose of language is to communicate. Expecting the lowly rank and file to decode the 'too cuteness' of this post is really a bit much.
