We have so much for which to be thankful, that we still live in a relatively free country, for one. But freedom doesn't come easy, and it isn't easily kept. We have to be on constant guard. It might be wise to remember Alexis de Tocqueville's cautionary words:
Americans are so enamoured of equality they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.
It's good to remember that as we listen to the steady drumbeat about income inequality.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
