    Thanksgiving Turkeys Not The Only Ones In America

    Each Thanksgiving, the President pardons a turkey --- an actual barnyard fowl and not a member of Congress.  For the most part, the custom is itself harmless and mildly cute; however, should taxpaying citizens learn what is done with the turkey, they will likely end up with a case of indigestion.

    According to a Fox News account, after the White House ceremony the turkey was to be flown first class to Disneyland in California.  There the gobbling celebrity was to serve as the grand marshal of the park's Thanksgiving parade.

    Many would dismiss this story as something not to get worked up over.  Yet in this dawning era where we are constantly reminded how our very way of life must change or face collapse along various fronts, escorting a turkey to Disneyland in stratospheric luxury raises a number of questions.

    First, is the turkey being sent there at taxpayer expense?  If Disney wants the bird, that corporation is the party that should pick up the airfare.

    Relatedly and even more importantly, shouldn't those that have set themselves up as our betters and the ones out to impose the new paradigms upon the rest of us have to live by their own standards?

    For example, a letter to the editor published in the Prince George's Sentinel attempts to guilt-trip the reader into foregoing the turkey dinner by insinuating that this traditional culinary centerpiece is somehow bad for the environment.  But what about the resources expended to get the turkey from Washington to California, and, even more importantly, what about the "carbon footprint" (the term used by beatniks of expanding girth like Al Gore to make themselves feel better about their own ostentatious consumption) left behind each year by the Disney corporation.

    I for one have no problem with amusement parks and similar resorts.  However, I am not the one haranguing the average American, who can hardly afford luxury vacations these days, into giving up one of the few remaining pleasures available, namely a reasonably priced turkey dinner.

    Often, America’s Puritan and Separatist founders are depicted as absolutely joyless and not having much fun in their lives.  And maybe so by out standards. However, these solemn patriarchs are party animals in comparison to the glum-faced busybodies out to control in the name of the environment all aspects of the food you consume from what can go into your mouth and,  increasingly as in regards to proclamations regarding no flush toilets, what is to be done with it once it comes out.
