No complaints

We at the IDS Editorial Board whine a lot – we know. We complain about our sports teams losing and then complain when we do anything to win. We complain about paying too much for college, and then we complain about the inadequate quality of our education. We complain about each other. We complain, and we complain proudly; that’s an important part of what the Editorial Board does. Yet, even for our whiny, self-indulgent selves, Thanksgiving is the time of year to realize how lucky we are to have what we have.
