Happy Birthday to Dr. Sowell. My favorite book by him is, A Conflict of Visions. The intelligence that comes from every sentence just bowls you over.

Happy Birthday Dr. Sowell . 80 sounds about right if you get smarter as you go along . I have about 3/4 of his intellect .

Happy birthday, Dr. Sowell. If only you had been elected as our first African-American President.........if only..............what might have been...... :-(

I’d be hard put to name a person, other than my parents, who has had more influence on my life and education. I first discovered him in “Forbes,” around 1990.

Happy Birthday to a wonderful man...

[Young Werther]

Omigod! He's reached his IQ divided by 2!

Happy Birthday Great Guy!

[left that other site]

Amen to THAT!!!!!!

[EDINVA]

Happy Birthday, Dr. Sowell.

If there were one person in the world I could have lunch with, it’d be Dr. Sowell... except I’d be too overwhelmed to be able to speak a word.

[YankeeReb]

As long as we're hiring non-judges for the supreme court why not:

Sowell for SCOTUS

[wardaddy]

Good lord...I had no idea.

When he goes there will be a further dearth of genuine black conservatives.

[Yardstick]

A Conflict of Visions, and the other one I like is The Quest for Cosmic Justice. I was about 25 when I read it and it had a huge impact on my thinking. Thomas Sowell was a really important early influence for me.

Happy birthday Dr. Sowell, may you have many more happy ones.

[TwoSue]

Happy birthday & many more!
