Neil GaimanIt was a non-traditional Thanksgiving, far from America, with mostly not-American friends and family. And it was a joy, eating together, being with each other and being grateful. Even if I did have to explain to my mother several times that Thanksgiving had nothing to do with the War of Independence so even English people were allowed to eat a lot and be grateful for each other and their lives.
Penda Rex@neilhimself Indeed. And I’m sure that the families of the 630 people killed and 2500 wounded in mass shootings in the US have a lot to be thankful for. I am thankful to live in a country where you can’t walk in to a supermarket, and walk out armed with any sort of firearm, from a pistol to an assault weapon. I have never understood how a single sentence in the Constitution, which to me is quite unambiguous, can be so distorted.
Helena Rigby@PendaRex @neilhimself if you look at the YouTube video Matthew Cooke made it *is* unambiguous. Very worrying that money pays the US government to pretend it isn't clear cut.
