Reply #31: Depends on your defintion I suppose...

whether a government official saying a holiday is so is the first actual holiday seems a bit odd to me. The celebration today relates back to the 1621 harvest meal, whatever a government offical a couple years later says. Regardless, Thanksgiving isn't about blood lust, just like Halloween is no longer just about dead relatives or spirits, or Christmas is no longer an exclusively pagan holiday, so lamenting Thanksgiving seems rather odd and wasted negative energy.

So, I would say it is not accurate at all, unless you really want to look for something to complain about.
