Kettles and pots, Henk. I didn't say you were comparing them. I said you were treating them as the same sort of thing. You *were* doing that, weren't you?

But, when you made the intial query, you didn't mention "roots" or "origins", did you? You didn't mention anything about one culture subsuming another's festivals in an act of political repression? You were talking about the Pilgrim Fathers and the Crucifixtion. You were just being a typical superficial "American" (regardless of your nationality, birthplace and irrelevant comments from Roderick). Your squirming now is embarassing, though you've recovered some street cred by showing a knowledge of the fact that neither of these "celebrations" are original or honourable. A knowledge that a typical superficial American would not have...

Or did you just get embarassed when you started to think about it?
