The similarities and situation between the Donnar Party and the Colonial Pilgrims is both appalling, frightening, and incomplete. In both cases you will find one:a fairly large group of ill-prepared greenhorns pitting themselfs against nature and each other; two: an in sufficient willingness to endure the very real hardships of frontiering, and three: coincidental misfortune at every turn. Disasters of both camps were intially braught about by departure, delay, desert, inertia; which causes our hereos to begin their journey at absolutely retarded times weather-rise. If fantasy is the refuge of a fightened man, and a castle in the air is a safe harbor for a foolish few, just imagine living in a hut buried twelve feet below the snow, with sight and smell of the scattered carcasses of loved ones at your feet; it is th elay of the land, just another day. I would like to propose that cannibalism was indeed rampant among America's earliest settlers: The Pilgrims. For what does settler imply, if not the willingness to settle? To settle for a meal of human flesh if my thoughts on the subject are to be believed. In conclusion, spread the word of this: Look to the night sky, and hark back to our forefathers' shortcommings, and your own, as you cut your meat and lay the groundwork for a new tommarrow.
