Dr. Sowell is always right on the money. He and Clarence Thomas are two (truly) black men I could happily vote for, not for color, but for their conservative principles and realistic outlooks.

Along the lines of his editorial--I wrote a paper in the 60's about the premise that the more brilliant the person, the greater the leadership. As I researched this premise, I was surprised to find that Aristotle and many of the ancient Greeks famous for their wisdom and knowledge, thought the most brilliant seldom made the best leaders--rather the more more moderately endowed did, because they were more grounded in the realities of life and worked harder. The brilliant were busy theorizing and trying to put their ideas into practice.

Absolutely...The wife is reading "My Grandfathers Son" by Justice Thomas right now and I can't wait to get my hands on it. She's raving about it and though I've read excerpts and heard a lot about it I'm anxious to read it.
