Thomas Sowell says more, more profoundly, in fewer sentences than any other writer. After reading his columns, I hate to put anything in the comments. He’s already said it all, and my writing looks bad by comparison.

I'm with you. I wish I could be as clear, concise, and insightful. At work I produce technical documentation of various forms, lead meetings for my team, then there are always emails, briefings, and heck, just posts here. Oh to be as well-spoken as Mr. Sowell.

Of course, were I a liberal, I would expect a handout from the government or my employer to send me to writing classes. Failing that, I'd expect rules/procedures that would pull Mr. Sowell's discourse down to my level. ;-)

I agree, it is practically impossible to add anything of substance to his writing, even in his short columns.
