[lbo-talk] Thanksgiving

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

"The birth of tolerance in the Low Countries changed history. It made 
Holland the center of publishing, where Galileo and Hobbes printed 
their books free of censorship. The Dutch provided haven to exiled 
English royalty and peasants from across Europe who fled war and 
repression. It's often forgotten that the English Pilgrims, before 
taking a flyer on America, went to Holland in their search for 
religious freedom. They found it and then left for the same reason: 
they feared that amid the diversity of Holland their children would 
stray, and so opted to carve out an isolationist settlement in the 
New World" (Russell Shorto "The Un-Pilgrims,"
