Heh well the article is not intended as a political piece. Rather it was written as a reflection on how even in such a diverse society, we have much to be thankful for, most importantly the fact that we are the most free men on the planet.

That said, we will all interpret it differently.

I myself am exceedingly enthusiastic about my own future and am thankful for my ability to live my life the way that I want without anyone telling me how to do it. I certainly don't need a corporation to back me, nor do I rely on a president from a particular party to ensure my happiness or freedom.
