- And an American capitalism that’s as near to laissez faire as we can bear.
William Bradford, Governor of the Plymouth Colony, reports that, at that time, he and his advisers considered “how they might raise as much corn as they could, and obtain a better crop than they had done, that they might not still thus languish in misery.” And “after much debate of things,” he then adds, they chose to abandon communal property, deciding that “they should set corn every man for his own particular” and assign “to every family a parcel of land, according to the proportion of their number, for that end.”
The results, he tells us, were gratifying in the extreme, “for it made all hands very industrious” and “much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.” Even “the women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn; which before would allege weakness and inability; whom to have compelled would have been thought great tyranny and oppression.”
Moreover, he observes, “the experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years . . . amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato’s and other ancients applauded by some of later times . . . that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing.” In practice, America’s first socialist experiment “was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort.”

Happy turkey day
In the USA we are encouraged to stay home and not meet up with friends or relatives
Tammy and I are still going to my bro’s house as we usually do
But it will only be us and bro and bro wife
People we have met with in this year
2020 should not count as a year and God should give everyone another year on earth because …
But still be thankful everyday
Because being thankful gives rise to happiness
And happiness is the true wealth in life
Our lives should be measured in the quantity of happiness in it and least of all by wealth
It is wealth we all seek thinking wealth leads to happiness but instead it is happiness that leads to happiness.
As they say if you can’t get what you want …
Want what you have
Now understandably that is not the motto of world changers but they were probably not very happy being driven each and every moment to achieve their goals
But everyone pays for their success
We need to be goal driven but we should always take a moment to be thankful of what we have
I’m talking to myself here but maybe the above rings with you too ?
