All of our recent debates about the Middle East, terrorism, taxes and movies should remind us just how much we have to be thankful for.
Unlike most of the world, we are in a country where we are free to debate these ideas. Free from living our lives in day to day fear. Free from oppressive governments or religious beliefs that strip us of choice. And, oh yeah, free to see movies whether they suck or not, are French or not, and are controversial or not. Try filming a "The Last Temptation of Muhammed" and showing it in Nigeria.
Its trite, but honestly: We are all extremely lucky and have much to be thankful for.
