The Misconception of Thanksgiving
Today's political climate has made it so many traditions and holidays have become a topic of controversy. Many of these controversies are not without merit, but it would seem as though history and a lack of proper education has misguided those arguing for or against either side. Thanksgiving is no exception to this. To some, Thanksgiving is a time to bring people together. To love your family, your friends, and have a feast. To others, Thanksgiving is a symbol of colonization. It symbolizes the oppression of the Native American people, and such ideas should be considered taboo. It is easy to see why each side of the argument feels so strongly about the holiday, and it's easy to see where both sides have merit in their arguments. With this in mind, however, both sides have been fairly misguided. In this article I will be talking about the actual origins of Thanksgiving, and hopefully be teaching a handful of people as well.

Delivery Truck Accidents in New York: Whom Do You Sue for Your Car Damages?
It can be confusing trying to figure out whether you can even file a personal injury lawsuit for a truck-related accident injury. New York is a no-fault, non-tort insurance state, and drivers are extremely limited in their ability to sue for damages. Most drivers file with their own insurance companies for reimbursement for damages and medical expenses. Drivers in fender-benders and mild accidents follow those rules. However, delivery truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries and death. These kinds of injuries often qualify for an exception that allows the drivers to sue for an at-fault truck driver.
