On gratitude

On thanksgiving, just a few hours before black friday, i invite you to read a (longish) essay on gratitude, just published in the Policy Review. It has a section on the holiday of thanksgiving, and it previews, without exactly predicting, President Obama’s omission (according to news reports) of any mention of God in his address this year, which marks a first for Thanksgiving proclamations.  You can find the article online at http://www.scribd.com/doc/73413436/Policy-Review-December-2011-January-2012-No-170 Go to page 58 and read away
