       Question: Why do I smoke American Spirits in return for
       Thanksgiving?

       [5]Kenneth Udut [6]CJOoh, limiting my contexts to two. Ouch!
       Eek. Zee pain.
       Gotta brainstorm aloud first, out of context 'til I narrow
       down to the constraints:
       There's multiple accounts of thanksgiving history, some
       complimentary, some contradictory. All fables (what isn't? -
       some just more workable than others: my bias towards and
       backwards)...

       Traditional American 4th Grade School Play
       Hack and slash Pilgrim and/or Puritan death squad
       Religious Freedom Fighter (Pilgrim and/or Puritan)
       Peaceful innocent Native American
       Land grabbing White Man Small Pox infecting
       Peace-treaty Signing (several signed in several places)
       etc
       I've noticed about 11 accounts, different dates and places,
       different treaties, different Native American Accounts,
       different perspectives of history but I'm sure there's more.
       [my only research was to counter a hack-and-slash death
       squad account on new atheist forum, which I'm not.. I just
       want them to get their history a little better educated so
       they don't sound so dumb when they're otherwise seemingly
       smart [Dawkings/Hitchens - please shush out there for a bit
       - your religous groupies are getting riled up again]

       American Spirits. "All Natural". image of peace pipe smoking
       stereotypical Indian complete with feather hat.

       Total Boy Scout Cigarette honestly. I would've taken up
       smokng at the age of 9 if I saw those things. Graphics match
       up PERFECTLY with Traditional American 4th Grade School Play
       Indian and Boy Scout Mythology.

       Ah ha. There's the linkup.

       4th Grade School Play. Ideals of Gratitude and Peace.
       Life Happens.
       Learn White Privilege. Learn alternate accounts of
       Thanksgiving.
       Feel Guilty.
       Possibly See Indian Chief crying by the garbage.
       Feel like throwing up and suiciding.
       Time passes.
       Smoking because it's fun to play with smoke.
       [I'm grateful nicotene free vape is here for the kiddies to
       play with now. Now middle schoolers can play with smoke and
       not get hooked]

       Persuaded by images on the package that harken back to 4th
       grade school play and boy scout native american mysticism...
       smoking American Spirits is giving back to the Indians.

       [plus the assumption that, "it must be owned by Native
       Americans because of the packaging" because of all those
       casinos and they're really all rich and just pretending to
       live on reservations eating spam and getting diabetes and
       alcohol poisoning... and those that are still living on
       reservations are just stupid and should be capitalists like
       us and ... blah blah then UH, WHITE PRIVILEGE kicks in...
       Guilt.

       Better switch brands.

       And look honey, it's all natural! Like your Vegan Raw Food
       Shake! We're GOOD to the environment now! It's ok that we're
       rich! Yay!
