Magick, American Style

Phil Farber writes in this Mindlist entry:

In ancient times, the ritual sacrifice was consumed so that the eaters would gain some of the qualities of the sacrificial beast. Eating the heart of a bear would provide courage and strength, the testicles of a goat would make one prolific, and the ass of a missionary would make your skin go pale.

The turkey is a dumbshit of a bird. Millions of turkeys are consumed by Americans on Thanksgiving. Doesn't this explain a lot about America?
