" loy krathong in light of turkey day "

---

while millions of bush supporters gorge on tetrazine-rampant, toxic turduckens, in thailand, it's the loy krathong festival, which is celebrated on a full moon night in november.

by the waters of the chao praya, i made my wishes and let the krathong drift away upon the river's vast body. children played by the waters edge and candles brightly lit up the river as if a field of stars.

there's something about celebrating a communal event, that doesn't have to do with a moral choice of killing an animal for consumption.

without any blood shed on a mass level signifying the broken treaties of the white man who let loose the pox upon the native peoples of the states, i let the full moon carry away my floating wish into the dark serene night.

(also, what the hell is 'black friday' and do we as a nation(meaning americans) really give a shit? really??)
