Thanksgiving, like a lot of the founding myths of "American history," is just a massive spit in the face of actual history, complete with phlegm and tobacco juice. I'd like to see more inclusive holidays too, and ones that celebrate more true history of the country -- some actual recognition for the civil rights movements in general would be great, rather than just a token "oh, MLK was a great guy, he had a dream" melting pot back-patting. But since there's little people hate more than admitting their nation's history is no nobler than any other nation's, you'd probably get shouted down for being unpatriotic for suggesting such a thing. Particularly in today's post-9/11 USA! USA!! climate. I said more to Z below.

Dude, I would celebrate Boss Day. I would wear all my red bandanas to Boss Day.
