In this 21st century civil war, doesn't President Abraham Lincoln's 1863 proclamation designating the last Thursday in Nov. a "day of thanksgiving" seem a little odd? It has turned into. Black Friday? Phidelphia cops called it that in the '60's because of shopper riots.

My "Azteca" Mexican friends, please don't tell me ABBA's tune "Fernando" was a hoax.

Hey Hispanics...did you forget about Mexican revolutionary leader Emiliano Zapata who fought for the Mexican peasants and against the wealthy land owners? "It's better to die on your feet than to live in your knees." Zapata was the original Zorro.

Ever notice when fascists like Hitler, Putin, Muskrat, and old Bone Spurs want something and it isn't automatically handed over to them they blow it up? Like Poland, or Ukraine, or Twitter, or casinos? The Chinese, on the other hand, build a deep water port in Peru.

I can't talk to the hayseeds I grew up with. Nothing in common. While they were trying to figure out why momma cow could have a calf without foreplay I was helping a friend fly a Leer jet 60 miles out in the Pacific Ocean so Navy frigates could practice with their surface to air missile systems.

Once upon a time in 1823 we had a thing called the Monroe Doctrine to keep European monarchs from carving up the Western Hemisphere. Ya know, to protect us from getting screwed up the ass. Apparently the Monroe Doctrine, 200 years later, it doesn't apply to Chinese oligarchs taking over Peru.

Legacy obsession in a dictatorship is absurd. Forgotten as an unknown soldier's tomb. Nobody is going to remember when Colonial Williamsburg gets bulldozed to make room for a gulag. The kids will only know it as a gulag. Dark days, folks.
