Kamrater i en annan del av v\u00e4rlden l\u00e4ngtar efter Thanksgiving. Nyss Indien med sin Diwali. Jag tar \u00e5t mig dom b\u00e5da tv\u00e5. Inte det religi\u00f6sa dock. Jag m\u00e5 tro p\u00e5 ett universum som \u00e4r en intelligens i sig, han\/hon\/det\/gud\/j\u00e4mvikten, men allt annat skiter jag fullst\u00e4ndigt i. Varje uns av det d\u00e4r har bara f\u00f6rt med sig el\u00e4nde f\u00f6r m\u00e4nniskorna. Allt finns och existerar. F\u00f6ljer n\u00e5gra enkla lagar. Sen \u00e4r det inte mer med det. Men gott s\u00e5. \u00c5tminstone f\u00f6r undertecknad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast det \u00e4r n\u00e5got speciellt med Thanksgiving. Det \u00e4r n\u00e4sta en del av en. Man har sett s\u00e5 f\u00f6rbaskat m\u00e5nga Amerikanska filmer d\u00e4r det varit Thanksgiving s\u00e5 att man n\u00e4stan tror att man firat det d\u00e4r massor av g\u00e5nger fast det egentligen \u00e4r firat noll g\u00e5nger h\u00e4r p\u00e5 hemmaplan. Det \u00e4r som en gul New York taxi. Man vet allt om den. K\u00e4nner till hur det \u00e4r att sitta i den. Hur den doftar. Men \u00e5tminstone jag har aldrig f\u00e4rdats i en. \u00c4nnu. Eller Amerikanska villakvarter. Det k\u00e4nns liksom hemma med den d\u00e4r betongg\u00e5ngbanan som g\u00e5r framf\u00f6r husen. Men jag har aldrig g\u00e5tt p\u00e5 en. \u00c4nd\u00e5 uppv\u00e4xt med den. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00e5 det \u00e4r n\u00e4stan s\u00e5 att man firar Tanksgiving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diwali visste jag inte ens existerade f\u00f6r s\u00e5 lite som tio \u00e5r sedan. Men open source \u00e4r v\u00e4nskap ocks\u00e5 \u00f6ver gr\u00e4nserna och man f\u00e5r ocks\u00e5 s\u00e5dan info till sig. L\u00e4r sig gilla. Vill fira. Men annars vet man ju inte j\u00e4ttemycket om Indien s\u00e5klart. Kunskapen baseras mest p\u00e5 ett g\u00e4ng f\u00f6rdomar. Man f\u00e5r jobba p\u00e5 det d\u00e4r. Varje dag och varje minut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men p\u00e5 torsdag s\u00e5 f\u00e5r man v\u00e4l allts\u00e5 s\u00e4nda en god tanke \u00e5t Amerikanerna. De g\u00f6r s\u00e5 gott som de kan och nog ser det n\u00e4stan ut som om de \u00e4r mitt inne i en stadskupp just f\u00f6r tillf\u00e4llet. Jag k\u00e4nner bra m\u00e4nniskor d\u00e4r borta. \u00d6nskar dem bara gott s\u00e5klart. Gillade dessutom systemet och m\u00f6jligheterna som fanns d\u00e4r tills jag sj\u00e4lv gick d\u00e4r n\u00e5gra kv\u00e4llar efter gatorna i San Francisco och s\u00e5g alla som inte fick ta del av den Amerikanska dr\u00f6mmen. Minns speciellt den unga kvinnan med ett litet barn t\u00e4tt tryckt intill sig i ett gath\u00f6rn. Redo f\u00f6r att sova en natt ute efter gatorna. Sverige, det som vi iof \u00e4r p\u00e5 v\u00e4g bort ifr\u00e5n, \u00e4r s\u00e5 mycket b\u00e4ttre med sin balansakt p\u00e5 knivseggen mellan socialism och kapitalism. J\u00e4mvikten igen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men vi firar inte Thanks giving. Inte Black Friday heller. Det d\u00e4r sista blir man oerh\u00f6rt tr\u00f6tt p\u00e5. Inboxen f\u00f6r mail sv\u00e4mmar \u00f6ver i dessa tider och det l\u00e4r inte ta slut det d\u00e4r fl\u00f6det igen f\u00f6rr\u00e4n n\u00e5gon vecka efter jul. Eller riktigt slut tar v\u00e4l spamfloden v\u00e4l aldrig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man \u00e4r hur som helst glad att man inte f\u00f6ddes som kalkon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
