I just thought I'd wish all the American boarders a Happy Thanksgiving.

to you too

I'm getting into the spirit of things, and giving out smallpox-nfected blankets to everyone!

what! I can't belive you're breaking the old tradition and slaughtering native Americans left right and centre, after they've fed you, of course- can't go murdering on an empty stomach

*and not slaughtering

Thanks for the wild turkey and the Passenger Pigeons, destined to be shit out through wholesome American guts

thanks for a Continent to despoil and poison ?

thanks for Indians to provide a modicum of challenge and danger ?

thanks for vast herds of bison to kill and skin, leaving the carcass to rot ?

thanks for bounties on wolves and coyotes ?

thanks for the AMERICAN DREAM to vulgarize and falsify until the bare lies shine through ?

thanks for the KKK, for nigger-killing lawmen feeling their notches, for decent church-going women with their mean, pinched, bitter, evil faces ?

thanks for "Kill a Queer for Christ" stickers ?

thanks for laboratory AIDS ?

thanks for Prohibition and the War Against Drugs ?

thanks for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business ?

thanks for a nation of finks ? yes, thanks for all the memories... all right, let's see your arms... you always were a headache and you always were a bore ?

thanks for the last and greatest betrayal of the last and greatest of human dreams.
