An Ayn Rand quote I posted 10 years ago popped up today on my social media, and I thought it would be a good topic for today's episode. I respect Rand and realize that she can seem to be cold and empty. But it is only the impression she gives, I read that she was in love once. Her quote is quite insightful, and I have posted it below.
"Thanksgiving is a typically American holiday. In spite of its religious form (giving thanks to God for a good harvest), its essential, secular meaning is a celebration of successful production. It is a producers’ holiday. The lavish meal is a symbol of the fact that abundant consumption is the result and reward of production. Abundance is (or was and ought to be) America’s pride – just as it is the pride of American parents that their children need never know starvation."
