Well, I do thank them all. But there was a time when America got by with _no_ retail stores open on Thanksgiving except for gas stations (and not many of them, either). Everybody spent the time with their families except public safety personnel. No long haul trucks on the road -- hell, there weren't even garbage pickups.
Maybe we'll slow down as a society and get back to that someday. Valuing family time over convenience -- wotta concept!
