People who call differences "inequities" and achievements "privilege" leave social havoc in their wake, while feeling noble about siding with the less fortunate. It would never occur to them that they have any responsibility for the harm done to both blacks and Asian-Americans.

I know I'm thinking right when Sowell comes out with something like this. The Judeo-Christian ethic recognizes envy, avarice, and pride ("feeling noble") as among a potent handful of moral failings. The West and America's abandonment of that ethic has led to dire consequences. In America today, those destructive traits are nearly celebrated as "human" when they should be rejected as stupid and bad. The wisdom of the Bible knows no bounds. I pray for a return to what one of the Founders called "the Christian system."
