"ANGER" ON THANKSGIVING?

When I write, I describe events and opinions of importance to me and hopefully the reader. Readers have suggested that I was less than clear with my Thanksgiving 2011 message when I wrote, "Her anger came in biblical proportions."

The sentence in question was an acknowledgement of the horrific natural disasters that have occurred here in Missouri, in our country and around the world in the past year.

We share this planet with uncountable other species, animal and otherwise. Thanksgiving provides the opportunity to recognize and respect nature's ability to bring about major disasters unanticipated by people, even as we can be grateful for our own specific good fortune.
