We should be thankful we live in a great country filled with great people. Personally, I like the meaning of the message, even if it is dated…

As a kid, my dad would always tell me that we live in the greatest country in the world. I didn’t understand what he meant, and thought it sucked here (mostly based on the movies that I saw growing up)… until I went to college and met students from other countries. Then I learned the most valuable lesson about living in america. We have choices! In many countries you don’t have that luxury. In some countries you are born into a caste system you can’t escape. In others, the goverment decided what your occupation will be.

Yes, now I understand what my dad meant! Enjoy your country, it could be a lot, lot worse.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

It’s a great time to spend with family and friends.

Also, once I had a knock at my door — it was the sheriff, telling me that I either needed to pay him several hundred dollars on the spot, or he’d arrest me, and that he had a warrant for such. My crime? A headlight on my car burnt out, and I didn’t send in the proof that I’d fixed it until two days after the deadline. Guess what country this was in?

But regardless of the propaganda video, happy thanksgiving everyone!

us Canadian’s celebrated a few weeks ago

Though we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving over here, our side side of the pond, I really like that tradition. It’s a good way to remind oneself of the good things in life.

Have a great Thanksgiving JD and everyone else that makes GRS such an awesome place to hang out.

Wherever you are, I hope you’re thankful that a knock on the door is “not going to be some political gangster coming to drag one of us off to jail because we believe in freedom.”

Ha! Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
