ANOTHER THANKSGIVING
Here is an excerpt from a letter to the editor of the Los Angeles Times that gives a somewhat naturalistic view of Thanksgiving: “So it’s Thanksgiving. What a misnomer! Just what is an elderly couple such as my wife and myself to be thankful for? We live on a very limited income. Try to get three square meals a day on it, and you will find it is impossible. We will be lucky to have a hamburger for our sumptuous Thanksgiving feast.” “Granted, the Pilgrims had a reason to offer thanks, but now it is dog-eat-dog in this selfish land. Thanksgiving? Baloney!”
