Thanksgiving 2006

It is thanksgiving 2006 let me see what I have to give thanks for.  I live in country 
that is in a war with no end in sight, and because of it racial profile is seen as 
being all right.  Thanks!  A country where if you a child molester but pretty then 
you don’t have go to jail and if you go to the airport they measure your hair gel. 
Thanks!  A country where if you a famous you can say you hate the Jews as long 
as you blame on booze.  Thanks!  A country where it’s says land free unless you 
an illegal Latin speaking immigrant.  Thanks!  A country where children are killing 
one another in street and at holiday time is the only time we give the hungry 
something good to eat.  Thanks!  Wow it is thanksgiving 2006 and what do I have 
to give thanks for….. nothing.  Thanks!
