When did saying Happy Thanksgiving become taboo?
Political Correctness is nothing more then mind control for the weak. So, it's very unfortunate that so many Americans have fallen victim to the mental castration in the name of being "tolerant". I found myself scratching my head in bewilderment leading up to Thanksgiving. As I was listening to people talk about the Thanksgiving holiday, people were mentioning the holiday part, but they would not utter the word "Thanksgiving". People would just say to others to have a "Happy Holiday". Several people told me to have a "Happy Holiday". I in turned always responded with have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING". I felt like I was the only non zombie in a town filled with zombies in a horror movie. Then again, it could have been like being in a scene from the Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Stafford Wives. I've been trying to figure out a logical reason for why saying Thanksgiving would be considered "offensive". I may have figured it out. Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday. Christmas and Easter are. The word "thanks" in Thanksgiving would imply to show gratitude to someone other them him or herself. To give "thanks" could mean that a person possibly could be giving thanks to maybe a higher power for their blessings just like the pilgrims did when they came to this land. It's just a thought to why the PC police would try to tone down the word THANKS in the holiday of giving thanks.
