As Americans, we take much pride in our country's heritage. Yes, we have made some major errors along the way. But, I view this much like parenting; there isn't a perfect guide on how to run a country, just mistakes made by previous governments to avoid. Thus, why history is such an important element in a free country such as ours. Today, on Thanksgiving, we celebrate the history of our country. We give thanks for that which we have accomplished and keep in mind the mistakes we have made along the way.
It is truly a day for celebration; a day to remember how lucky we are to live in a free society. One which allows people like myself to express their opinions freely, without repercussion; except the opposing viewpoint which can get nasty from time to time. I celebrate this freedom to speak out, share, and collaborate with like-minded people. This right, which we all possess, is the greatest right we have maintained throughout our country's storied past. I celebrate this every day, through online and personal conversation.
