Thanksgiving as an American holiday has the potential to be a noble one. Especially if those in celebration remember the 2nd and more important component of the day which is the "giving", = notice the word "eating" is nowhere in the title.
But citizens should also not fool themselves and drop this ridiculous romanticized notion of the Pilgrims and the Indians breaking bread together. As Bill Maher says:
"Americans celebrating Thanksgiving is like a date rapist saying: 'you know, let's focus on the nice dinner we had before hand.'"
Thanksgiving's true historical roots are in fact ghastly and abhorrent:
The first day of thanksgiving took place in 1637 amidst the Pilgrims war against the Pequots. 700 men, women, and children of the Pequot tribe were gathered for their annual green corn dance on what is now Groton, Connecticut. Dutch and English mercenaries surrounded the camp and proceeded to shoot, stab, butcher and burn alive all 700 people. The next day the Massachusetts Bay Colony held a feast in celebration and the governor declared "a day of thanksgiving." In the ensuing madness of the Indian extermination, natives were scalped, burned, mutilated and sold into slavery, and a feast was held in celebration every time a successful massacre took place. The killing frenzy got so bad that even the Churches of Manhattan announced a day of "thanksgiving" to celebrate victory over the "heathen savages," and many celebrated by kicking the severed heads of Pequot people through the streets like soccer balls.
As the African proverb states:"Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter".
… Thus Americans would be wise to remember the "true" history of how this nation came to be and not insult Native Americans by continuing the infantile myth of a "Thanksgiving feast between happy Indian and Pilgrim." After doing this … I believe that Americans can try and salvage the spirits of 'Thanks' and 'Giving' by showing appreciation to those around you and seeking to help others.
So on Thursday rather than seeing "how much you can eat" ... try and see "how much you can give."

Kommunity F.K. / Something Inside Of Me Has Died
Kommunity F.K. /Live @ The Roxy 9/13/2008- The Other World
I remember purchasing this album at Beggars Banquet in Long Beach in 1984, needless to say I had NO IDEA what to expect , having no knowledge, of any of these artists at the time....One pivotal memory was the opening (note) of "Monsters" (Freaks And Creeps) not even knowing at the time it was the cover of a Cher song....Me and my friends, from that track through the next 13 selections on this L.P. literally blew our fucking minds;We had NEVER heard such twisted shit like this, with lyrics like "I was born beneath the muffler of a 65 Ford, My mother had to bite off my Umbilical cord" This to me, was TRUE ART!
We were HOOKED hooked after this!
..And through the years the album got stolen or loaned out and never returned...I dont know, until recently...I had the luck of aquiring this gem on ebay for an incredible price...Ive been beaming ever since!
Here are a few chose tracks from 2 of my favorite albums by DI6 "The Guilty Have No Past" and "Burial"
Ill be posting more peridically once I get the hang of how everything works here and such, also will be condensing the tracks into ONE FILE (if possible) as opposed to each track = a differnt link, so be patient w/me these next few days and weeks til I manage to get the kinks out.Woof, FRANKKUBB
**with these download links at least (for now) it looks like youre gonna have to paste the link into your browser window, then proceed, sorry for the f' up......
I was just sent this email fr. a now (ex) friend of mine who has decided to delete me fr. his friends list and out of his life all together due to my homosexuality, and my sinful lifestyle and beliefs,mind you..I have been friends w/ this guy for the better part of 5 years Im not going to get too much into detail, but lets just say that we have been through ALOT...I mean ALOT together ! Id be lying if I said this action on his behalf didnt hurt...It hurts like fucking hell, yes; and I dont know whether or not to be offended or hurt, I guess Im hurt if anything...Im speechless, and that doesnt happen too often.He really is a good guy and hes always known my position on Homosexuality and my lifestyle, and have had many lenghty and in depth conversations fr. everything fr. religion, philosophy,music,fashion,god, buddha,etc, etc...and all that good stuff, what ever happened to "Love the sinner, hate the sin"? I feel like Ive lost a family member....what the fuck????I always thought we were on the same page as far as respecting eachothers beliefs and lifestyles, I read this email in total disbelief and awe...heres the email below-----------------------------Nov 19, 2008 11:43 PM Flag as Spam or Report Abuse [?] Help: FlagSubject: No SubjectBody: Hi Frank.I'll keep this breif, not because I don't care about you but because I just want to say my piece.I've made the decision to delete you. Again, not because I don't care. I do. I always will. But you and I have very different values and morals that are in direct opposition with one another. Am I being hateful? Absolutely not. But that's what a lot of ungodly people like to call my Christian values...hate. I've never judged you, I think you know that. And I know that I'm no better than you or anyone else. Rain and I both have histories of bisexual behavior; we judge no one and we're nothing without Him and the work He does daily in us to change and heal us. But we do know that God is the only righteous judge and He doesn't condone homosexual lifestyle, gay marriage, etc. I love you but it's time for our relationship to end. The fact is that if we lived in the same town, we wouldn't hang out. You wouldn't want to be involved in any Christian activities or functions with me and I wouldn't want to be involved in any homosexual functions or activities with you. So, there you have it...Homosexuality is a sin. It's no worse a sin than any other sin, but a sin all the same. We're all sinners and we all need Him. You may be angry with me, but I love you enough to tell you the truth. I pray and hope that you will accept Christ as your Savior and follow Him. The price He paid for our sins is the only thing that can keep any of us out of Hell. But we need to bow before Him, ask for His forgiveness and repent of our sins. Anyway, that's how I feel and it's not easy for me to write this to you, I don't take it lightly. But truth is truth.I love you and I hope only the best for you. And by the best, I mean God's will for your life. Take care, Frank.John -----------------------------------All I can say is WOW!
