thanksgiving is coming up and i am totally disillusioned sad
how come?
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 7:02 pm
My social and political philosophy professor told the class that thanksgiving never really occured
and while i knew that the pilgrims and natives never actually sat down at a banquet together i still maintained the illusion that they were some what friendly
then he said that the pilgrims used one of the first forms of biological warfare against the natives by purposely giving them blankets infected with smallpox
and that the story of thanksgiving is a "noble lie" used by our founders. like the one suggested by socrates in plato's republic
informative, accurate, and depressing

that dude is a dillhole
actually he is very sweet
with an excellent, if unusual, sense of humor
of all the foreign born teachers that i've had he is definately my favorite
much better than my algebra teacher from Romania
her favorite phrase was "Americans are so stupid!"
she really did wonders for my self-esteem neutral
