Too bad I don't give a crap about Sowell's books. As far as I'm concerned, he's a lightweight.
When you mentioned Shoeless Joe Jackson, I instantly was quite sure you must be right - who would retire when they did that well the previous year? But of course Jackson didn't retire, he was thrown out of the league.But if Sowell is a lightweight, why does everything he says make sense - usually only after he says it?
