Any students of history here?
What was the role of the European media in advocating negotiation over action in the years 1936 to 1938?
Sewell makes so much sense with his parallels between then and now. I just wonder why so many in this country cannot see the handwriting on the wall as well?
It wants sex on TV as a way to stave off its incompetence... so America should broadcast the latest “Sex in the City” to save Tehran.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
In my view, we need to stop drawing parallels between Nazi Germany and present day affairs e.g. Iran et al.
In short, totalinarism was the end of an era of Social Darwinism (Hitler, Mussolini, et al.) that started back in 1852 with Herbert Spencer (Darwin never said "survival of the fittest" that came from Spencer).
Did you know that the US practiced eugenics in the late 1890s.
Who “practiced eugenics” in the US(A)? Make your point.
Well, go back an look at what was done to mentally retarded children during late 1800's in the US. It was a consequence of the works of Galton and Binet (IQ testing).
I'm surprised that I should have too make such a follow up post. The point is clear in the previous post (mkay).
I asked who? Answer please.
>>Did you know that the US practiced eugenics in the late 1890s.
Heck, we’re practicing it today. Look at the roots of Planned Parenthood and Margaret Sanger.
Hold on here... Are you telling me that you don't know what happened to mentally retarded children in the US during the late 1800s and early 1900s?
Man, this is a depressing column. God Save Us from ourselves.
P.S I still love you, Mr. Sowell. You’re one of the few that tell it like it is.
“Are you telling me that you don’t know what happened to mentally retarded children in the US during the late 1800s and early 1900s?”
Or to Rosemary Kennedy for that matter in the 1940’s. Ask Fat Teddy what they did to their own sister!!
I also wonder, it seems many think the threat will evaporate if we leave the ME but they’re not going away, the cancer will spread.
Well said! The lack of concern by the libs is appalling, hopefully we survive it.
You’re right about it not being an uplifting commentary. Maybe he and others will wake up some of the nay sayers by speaking out like this, there’s always hope.
This is one man who is just brilliant and right.
He’s one of the great thinkers of out time and there doesn’t seem to be many.
I forget the rest.
