Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in America;

[saare_snowqueen]

Turkey Day, a day of giving thanks. As an editorial in the Guardian accurately calls it, few in America today have much to be thankful for. My thoughts too are weighted down by the travesty of justice inflicted on the grieving people of Ferguson. What have they to be thankful about

I too am a pro Europe pan European having lived on the mainland as well as back here in the Atlantic archipelago and am fed up to the back teeth with the British far right's anti Europe, anti immigration rhubarb.

I still wait an answer from a far right winger when they say we'll leave the EU and I ask 'and then what?'

I know where I prefer to be.

Enjoy the time whether you celebrate or not! :o)

Thank you. I don't celebrate US Thanksgiving, although occasionally have returnee friends over for the Canadian Day which is in early October.

The only thing the UK would give up by withdrawing from the EU is the right to participate in the economic decision making process which impact on their economy. In or out; we are all tied together. Ask Switzerland or Norway.

There are those here who think walking away would mean just that which shows how very little they get the actual issues!

It was Orwell who said that without Europe, we'd all have to work very hard and live on herrings and potatoes!

And what pray tell is wrong with Baltic Herring and potatoes? Food for gods say I. :-)

You're welcome. Hope DK and Lu are enjoying their first (?) US Thanksgiving.

That is a wonderful list.

I am so disgusted with politics, greed, and corporate piracy that the spouse and I have talked about getting out of here. (Only with our debt load, how far could we get, sigh)

The decision to up-stakes and move to another country is not one a family or individual takes lightly. The older you get the more challenging that process becomes. I should know, I've changed countries 4 times.

However at the risk of sounding the bugle call; Estonia just placed 20th on a list of the world's best places to grow old. Finland was 16th. I'm sort of just joking.

Thank you for the praise. Hope your Thanksgiving is a happy one, surrounded by family and friends.

I would go in a minute, if I didn't have family tugging at my heart. I mean it. I've fallen in love with Estonia from this distance.

You'll just have to come and visit. When Helsinki gets the 2017 World Con, maybe we can organise a side trip down here.
