I have that same dream...we have a trailer...it COULD happen, but I’d likely just be a babbling idiot in his presence.

I read a story a few years ago. Thomas was on a plane and struck up a conversation with two high school age boys in his row.

When they figured out who he was, they made a command decision and invited him to speak at their graduation. He accepted.

It is shameful the racism exhibited by liberals in this country that great thinkers like these three men are shunned based solely on skin color and political mindset.

One of the most influential books to me has been Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. 600 pages of economics and no charts or graphs, just simple explanation. I refer to it often.

I did just that after a Thomas Sowell lecture in Denver some 32 years ago. Afterwards, I passed by him in the parking lot. Surprised and near speechless, I fawned over him. He looked at me as if I was an idiot, said nothing, and kept walking.
