Do you suppose that they all got together for some other reason?

I charge no conspiracy, simply that if several different entities see
a buck to be made, then they will tend to pursue said buck, either
cooperatively or in competition with each other.

It has been pointed out that the happy dinner with Pilgrims and
Indians is still around in grade school. I saw it on Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade this year. And as the traditional story is
not quite accurate, why should it be put out there? I enjoy fiction,
but only if it's presented as fiction.
