Good God. Every single time I read something by Dr. Sowell, it occurs to me that there is a voice of reason. With all this insanity, reading his analysis reassures me that there is at least one man in this country who can speak calmly, reasonably, and most of all, truthfully.

He is an adult on the political scene filled with many children.

A voice of reason describes Dr. Sowell perfectly.

There is just so much that schools don’t even attempt to teach days its sad. And its amazing how many turn out okay too.

This guy needs to be President. Why couldn’t the first black President have been a staunch American and conservative like Mr. Sowell?

Agreed on both parts. A solid family helps a great deal but there are many who succeed without that too.

Our country and all of us would have been so much better off if only had that been the case.

Thanks for taking the personal responsibility of pinging me to another accurate and interesting article by the one and only Dr. Thomas Sowell jaz. I appreciate it.

All I can say is - Amen!

Sowell hits it on the head again.

The democrats and leftists goal is a society that absolves individuals of the consequences of their actions.

Only certain people and only certain actions. Rats and Leftists are not anarchists.

There may be only one. ;>)

“Only certain people and only certain actions. Rats and Leftists are not anarchists.”

I don’t follow your comment about “anarchists”. Anarchism (no government) would be just the opposite of what the dems push for. Under anarchism there would be no government to ease the consequences of anyone’s actions.

Excellent! Dr. Sowell is always a breath of fresh air in an often too cynical world.

That’s the point. The old morality is getting replaced with a new one. The new one is capable of at least as much harshness as the hated old one was, and it is considerably more capricious.

Because to be President today, one has to sell their soul, and Dr. Sowell won’t do that.
