A Rand Occasion

Front Page with Allen Barton at pjtv talks with Yaron Brook of The Ayn Rand Center and Terry Jones of Investors Business Daily about Thanksgiving as it might be seen from the perspectives of Ayn Rand, the Pilgrims, and today's consumers.

A Rand Occasion: On Thanksgiving & Black Friday, Be Thankful For the Producers is a power packed 12 minute video from PJTV, that is enlighterning and educating in the discussion of a) The meaning of thanksgiving, b) Should Selfishness be celebrated c)Black Friday.

As you become "consumers"(!) and shop till you drop this Black Friday,



I highly recommend that you spare a few minutes over this weekend to watch this video.

I have taken the liberty of copying a comment posted at PJTV, capturing quite well the message to take away from the discussion.

It's so refreshing to have reinforced the idea that consumer choice is a bounty and blessing we should enjoy and celebrate with participation, as our budgets allow. Is everything in the market place necessary and terrific? Gosh no, but having the choice to decide what is right for us is what the free market is all about.

The telling of the real story of the first Thanksgiving needs to be told and heard a bunch more-Bottom Line: capitalism saved them from their socialist ways and death. Proving the point that responsible selfishness is a positive force.(bold added)
