I don't celebrate Thanksgiving because I am native, and I personally find the whole thing offensive.

I understand your position . . . but I think it is not a bad thing to give thanks for your life and your opportunities to experience the universe however you describe it. It is hard for me to believe we are in this world all alone and don't need to thank someone or something for our existence. I guess a communal "Thank You" from one segment of humanity can represent oppression and pain to another and that is very regrettable. It is hard to redress all the crap that we humans have done to each other and to the rest of creation. May be a truly felt “Thank You” is one place to start.
