switch italy and france description and you have a realistic map <| sep |> And stop calling barrier maintenance for ONE broken tie down ! Both of you ! <| sep |> I come from mostly CherokeeIrish heritage . There is absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating and being thankful for the lives we have . We have 1 st world problems , our ancestors would have never imagined what we get worked up over . I believe the account ' s written by individuals who shared in those first feasts . Those people were happy to be alive and with full bellies . That includes the native Americans . That was a different world . Where survival was the name of the game . We should celebrate the success we have . We should celebrate those first feasts that brought survivors together in peaceful union . Yes things went south for the native Americans , but lets be honest . War and conquest of the new world isn ' t what Thanksgiving is about . It ' s a celebration of being alive , and being prosperous . Appreciating our first world problems and being thankful for those around us participating and assisting in our survival . That glint of hope in a dark time full of unknowns didnt ensure perfect equal rights forever after . It wasn ' t ever about that .
