-Dr. Richard Ebeling: The Real Meaning of Thanksgiving: The Triumph of Capitalism over Collectivism

-Wall Street Journal's Editorial: And the Fair Land

``But we can all remind ourselves that the richness of this country was not born in the resources of the earth, though they be plentiful, but in the men that took its measure. For that reminder is everywhere--in the cities, towns, farms, roads, factories, homes, hospitals, schools that spread everywhere over that wilderness.

``We can remind ourselves that for all our social discord we yet remain the longest enduring society of free men governing themselves without benefit of kings or dictators. Being so, we are the marvel and the mystery of the world, for that enduring liberty is no less a blessing than the abundance of the earth.

-Steven Landsburg: Giving Thanks

``We can be thankful too for the system that channels all that potentially destructive greed into life-sustaining brilliance."
