“the colony had suffered serious losses. Starvation was imminent.
Bradford realized that the communal system encouraged and rewarded waste and laziness and inefficiency, and destroyed individual initiative. Desperate, he abolished it. He distributed private plots of land among the surviving Pilgrims, encouraging them to plant early and farm as individuals, not collectively.” God neither dictated Communism or Capitalism, but I’ll bet he blessed the ones who took care to see to their own needs. It sounds to me that Bradford was the one who deserves the community thanksgiving. Just like Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, so for Bradford who used the common sense G-d helped them to learn.

To whom was thanks given in the original meaning of Thanksgiving? Uh, that would be God.

Don’t mean to sour the mood, but I came across this earlier and was astounded.

May your day be marked with peace and pleasure of what your labor has wrought over the last year. The world is going to go its own way no matter what, best to please the person in the mirror and enjoy what is possible today.
