here in Ok-La-Ho-Ma (The correct pronunciation for those who reside in that
state south of the Red River
) you don't or WON'T be seeing ANY parades in celebration for Thanksgiving, nor
that other 'holiday' being celebrated next Monday - "Columbus Day" ...
The chances of that EVER happening are the same as OU fans cheering for UT this Saturday in Dallas or Fleetwood Mac's next release being a tribute to the Norwegian Black Metal bands.
There are 'gay pride' and 'civil rights' parades however which are always very peaceful.
