Thanksgiving History and Traditions

Thanksgiving began as part of the religion of the English colonists (who had emigrated to Holland because of religious persecution) called Pilgrims who made thanksgiving prayers a part of their religious ceremonies. It was days of prayer, not just feasting.
Contrary to belief, the first thanksgiving feast with Native Americans occurred by a spontaneous desire to celebrate and give thanks for their lifesaving harvest.The local natives had played a big part in their survival of that first winter in 1620. The colonists had landed in December at the beginning of winter, and although they had provisions, there wasn't any harvest of crops to store. Actually, it was poor planning by the London Stock Company that had financed the expedition to found a settlement.

American's Guide to Responsible Voting

  Let me begin by saying that too many times I have found myself voting for the "lesser evil", especially when it comes to presidential elections. An example would be that when George W. Bush ran for the primary, I did not vote for him. But when it came to the national election, I was forced to apply choosing the lesser evil.
  Voters can find themselves frustrated that the candidates running are not a sure thing or collection of worthless politicians. This is seems more true of presidential candidates and members of Congress that seek reelection for the umpteenth time. Americans should be ringing the phones off the hook & filling members of Congress mail boxes with demands for term limits. What Congress thought was a good amendment to the Constitution in limiting terms of presidents - it is equally important that Congress have term limitations. And even if Congress does not limit terms, the policy of providing members of Congress with pensions after two-four terms is not acceptable. Retirement benefits should only be relegated to government employees and those employees must invest in that retirement program like the rest of us. Just as trade unions should NEVER be allowed to control government employment - that is the job of the legislative & executive branch.
