“range instructor for a time for (I believe) pistol.”

Does he still give lessons? I’m pretty bad at pistol shooting. LOL

(actually, I just need to practice more. I’ve only shot a pistol twice now)

Behind the housing boom and bust was one of those alluring but undefined phrases that are so popular in politics-- "affordable housing."... In looking back over my own life, I find it hard to think of a time when I didn't live in affordable housing.

Sowell's genius comes from his ability to take complex economic concepts and making them so understandable that even a dem could "get it". Stunning.

Poverty is job insurance for government.

If that was a bummer sticker - I'd put it on my car! Insightful.
