Today at the finest gourmet store in one of San Diego's worst neighborhoods, I was wished not Happy Thanksgiving, but something like Have a nice Holiday. Then at Starbucks (a PC meter if ever there was one) I noticed various references to Holidays and even "giving thanks." But no Thanksgiving or any traditional icons of this holiday, such as turkeys, pilgrims, etc. I am used to the banning of Christmas, but is Thanksgiving poliitcally incorrect now too? And if so, why? Because it was at the beginning of stealing the continent from the Native Americans? Because the Puritans were Christians? Theocrats? Because Thanksgiving implies there is Someone to thank? I'm just asking. I like to stay abreast of these things.
