Doesnt allow for the libs need to control others.

I'm getting more incite from Sowell's "Intellectuals and Society". I used to think it was about control with elitist libs. I'm starting to move away from even THAT viewpoint. "Control" is an external concept, control over others.

What elitist libs are after is how they feel about THEMSELVES. It's all narcissism to them. Allowing others to make their own decisions provides no means by which elitist libs can feel good about themselves. That's the key.

hmmm makes some sense. I never did understand the big appeal of control. Have enough to do attending to my own business let alone anyone elses. But yes, the feeling better about themselves could enter into it. Doing something good for others could generate that same feeling and benefit someone else as well but the inherent selfishness of narcissism resists that idea I guess.
