Personally I dont care. Beyond making hats and plays in school, the historical Thanksgiving myth is meaningless to me.

The holiday, as Perri says celebrates life and family and fellowship.

If liberals want to get their panties in a bunch over white guilt, let em. I could care less.

Aurelius, I agree with what you say about the Pilgrims. The idea that they were there to displace the natives and that they were utterly incapable is what I was attempting to downplay. They did after all have leaders that did have the skills needed. They were also grateful for the assistance, and not treacherous to those that provided it, despite the PC notions.

Agreeing with your theme, even though I am not much of a Holiday guy, Thanksgiving has, for my family, been about being together, and appreciating what we have.
The "Pilgrim" story is just a colorful backdrop.
However, just to place the Pilgrims in context, they were a fairly random group united by Religious concepts. They were NOT a group handpicked for skills that would serve them well in establishing a new colony.
Had it not been for the extremely unlikely chain of events that led them to be aided by Squanto, the Plymouth settlement may very well have failed.
