What a shame this intelligent, sensible man didn’t run for President in 2008!

When I saw signs in Yellowstone National Park warning visitors not to get too close to a buffalo, I realized that this was a warning that no illiterate farmer of a bygone century would have needed. No one would have had to tell him not to mess with a huge animal that literally weighs a ton, and can charge at you at 30 miles an hour.

Brilliant, cogent analysis of the fallacy of elitists determining what work is ‘meaningful’ and what is ‘menial’. Dr. Sowell should be President Romney’s economic adviser.

Some would apparently prefer a society where all-wise elites would decide what each of us "needs" or "deserves."

It is a regrettable fact of human nature that some people prefer to be slaves.

Does anyone imagine that firemen enjoy going into burning homes and buildings to rescue people trapped by the flames?

As a former volunteer fireman, yes, they do think of it as fun and exciting. The satisfaction of helping your fellow man at a time of need is one of best feelings in the world. Besides, it beats harvesting catfish eggs. (Yes, I did!)

Dr Sowell has a gift for distilling the complex into easily digested tidbits.
