Thanksgiving…

Aside from the lunatic fringe running Seattle and their social engineering plan for Thanksgiving (note in article that even Native Americans disagree with the silly distortion of the truth), there is plenty to be thankful for today.

5. Technology. Not just because my livelihood is in that arena, but because of all the opportunities it opens up for learning, for social interaction, for finding old Navy buddies, for keeping in touch. Of course, after watching Live Free or Die Hard, you can get a glimpse of the issues with technology as well (not to mention the whole issue of EMP, which would render virtually all of our technology useless).
