Christmas was used to show mans love for each other, until it was warped into an exercise in greed and the placating of children by bowing down to our corporate masters. But even that is only the Christian concept of Christmas. Lost are the pagan roots of Yule which existed to show reverence for the annual death of God and the maternity of the Goddess. What was a day of recognition, was torn out from under its people and forced to fit the theological mold of a cult gone rampant. Now every December we herd ourselves to the mall and worship it, in hopes that it will shut the screaming mouths of our delinquent children.
Thanksgiving is worse.
Not that this is much of a surprise, considering the European-American history of cultural tolerance. Considering that this country has made over two hundred treaties with the Native American people and have broken every one, it was par for the course to subvert the last vestige of respect that could have existed. The difference though is that this time we rub it in every year. Thanksgiving existed even before it was formalized by the Americans. I hope this makes you as sick as it does me.
