A Nation of Gluttony

Yesterday, as I stood in an amazingly long line waiting to purchase so salad greens and a birthday card, I was struck with the realization that I live in a nation full of thankless gluttons. So, let's all remember this Thursday to give thanks for being able to spend on one meal what could feed a large, starving family for a long time. Let's give thanks that we can throw most of the leftovers away, without a care. Let's give thanks that we can all live with our heads up our asses, if we so choose. Then, one day, if it's not so wonderful over here any more, let's give thanks that we can wonder why no one else in the world will seem to care.
