Thanksgiving Reconsidered

Paul Krugman says Thanksgiving is un-American:

" . . . . a bunch of people got together, with each group bringing what it could — the Wampanoag brought deer, the Pilgrims apparently shot some birds, etc.. Then everyone shared equally in the feast — regardless of how much they brought to the table. Socialism!

Worse yet, many of the lucky duckies benefiting from the largesse of this 17th-century welfare state were illegal immigrants. (That would be the Pilgrims)."

Paul has an idea on what to do instead, but you'll have to follow the link to see what it is.
