Siem Reap, Cambodia
It's Thanksgiving day today in the United States. Hooray! Thanksgiving is a nice excuse to see your family and reconnect. I think, though, the original intent of the holiday is forgotten. If I recall correctly we originally celebrated some Pilgrims getting some free food from indigenous peoples so that they didn't starve to death and could continue living in North America where they could practice their aberrant religion and carry guns. Later the descendants of these pilgrams would go on to slaughter and gettoize these nice indigenous people who fed them so we could have..........Thanksgiving all over America. Maybe we should just thank the Indians for allowing us to conquer them, steal their land, and then send them to South Dakota.
Thank you Indians! Oh. Sorry. Were not in India? Thank you Native American people!
Maybe one year we can all save the money on the Turkey, stuffing and booze and instead all send the money for that one day to a country that really needs food. There is no Thanksgiving here in Cambodia. What do you say?

I say that's a brilliant idea.
