Happy Thanksgiving!Comments on: - by http://robertringer.com/2008/11/happy-thanksgiving/ In Support of Laissez-Faire Capitalism and Individual Freedom Thu, 17 May 2012 03:08:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: rmeyerhttp://robertringer.com/2008/11/happy-thanksgiving/#comment-2019 rmeyer Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:39:10 +0000 http://blog.robertringer.com/?p=244#comment-2019 Response to Pitch I never received his Thanksgiving message in my email box. I wonder if this happened to some of his other subscribers. Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Discovering Robert Ringer and other great Libertarian philosophers in the late 70's was quite exciting and definitely rewarding. Since I am older and much wiser (thank God for that)I am able to utilize his teachings much more effectively. Thanks, Robert Ringer. I am forever grateful. Response to Pitch

What is amazingly shocking to me is that there was only a one sentence reply to Robert’s Thanksgiving message! So, I would like to add a few of my own thoughts this Holiday Season. Jerry is of course correct in his statement that most other countries do not have a designated “Official Day” of Thanksgiving. Our closest neighbor to the south in Mexico is a good example and perhaps the closest they have to a Thanksgiving Festival is their celebration called “Dia de Raza” (Day of the Race) which takes place each October. Me thinks that RR and I must be of about the same age, as I too have shared many a wonderful past Thanksgiving in a much different America and world than we awakened to this Thanksgiving. But after all, is not change the only true “Axiom” we can each be sure of every new and beautifully formed day? Change for the better or change for the worse? We each in our own very small way can actually control our destiny and that of the world’s by our thoughts, decisions and the actions we make and take each and every day. I also kick back and make each Thanksgiving as special and memorable as possible under any given set of circumstances I find myself confronted with and try to splurge on my favorite recipes of the season, many which are laden with so many calories and known man killer ingredients that I am very careful not to overindulge in too much of a good thing anymore. I try and ratinalonize this poor decision by telling myself; but, it’s only a few times each year! As Robert has so correctly lamented; we do still have many blessings to be thankful for in America 2008, despite taking the wrong fork in the road of life as a society so many long years ago that most in today’s America have no real world conceptions of taking part in a self responsible life and free society. But after all, this too is to be expected and is nothing but the natural, very normal essence and nature of life itself and unfortunately; it is all too true that “Nothing ever stays the same,” no matter the numbers of “Botox” injections, the wrinkles of life just keep coming back one day at a time! The one thing that I am very certain of this Holiday Season as a lifetime and loyal fan of RR and his core beliefs is that I know for certain that he has found much “JOY” in his life mixed in with the adversity and he has brought much “JOY” into the lives of the many that he has touched with his words of intellectual wisdom and rational approach to life and this is something one can be “Thankful” for each and every day. I can honestly say that Robert Ringer has been the most positive and motivating force in my life and for that I am forever indebted and grateful. Pitch says:
