HAPPY TURKEY DAY! Enjoy this coming National Holiday - Thanksgiving, while being and sharing with your families and folks who may not be family. To the many with whom I or we agree or disagree or vary in views of certain realities, depending the issue, the politics or the day - I ask each of us to consider realistically that we are all newbies to this country (a few generations doesn't qualify any of us to use the rejecting or dening 'black ball" of immigrants out of fear) Many of us came as a result of harsh or cruel occurance in our lives or mother land - I suspect that we all love this country and it's cultural and political qualities and strengths - but we are "WE", not just ME or YOU or OURS. All that can be sadly identified as "THEM" must be considered with more than a nasty, unthoughtful, cold hearted, quick rejection based on our unstudied reasons or worries or unresearched fears. As we get ready to share a meal in celebration of our national holiday based on cultural sharing - think of the real istoric reason that this holiday exists? Why it's such a great holiday? Those who had been here for unmeasurable years, were worried and did questioned the goodness of those who had reasently come and although they too had questions and some doubts - they still assumed the BEST and offered help and a chance and additionally shared what they had. My American shouldn't do less - Can Yours? God bless you and yours and may He give us a chance to be better and caring citizens of this Great and Wonderful country! God bless the USA!
