Great as always!

[Billthedrill]

Some good ones here -

What is especially disturbing about the political left is that they seem to have no sense of the tragedy of the human condition. Instead, they tend to see the problems of the world as due to other people not being as wise or as noble as themselves.

I couldn't add a single syllable to that. BTT.

[To Hell With Poverty]

Me please. :)

[jazusamo]

Welcome, To Hell With Poverty.

Random Thoughts (Thomas Sowell)

Dr. Sowell's random thoughts are more direct and incisive than my (or almost anyone else's) non-random thoughts.

[jazusamo]

I wish we had more thinkers and writers like him.

LOL

[Paperdoll]

Thank you for this posting. Thomas Sowell has long been a particularly favorite of mine, along with the equally wise and eloquent Dr. Alan Keyes. What a dynamic ticket they would make in 2008!

[jazusamo]

Yes, Dr. Sowell is a pleasure to read.

I love this one:

If people had been as mealy-mouthed in centuries past as they are today, Ivan the Terrible would have been called Ivan the Inappropriate.

LOL! Too true!

Please add me to your Thomas Sowell ping list.

[jazusamo]

Yes, that was particularly good. :-)

Welcome to the list, brother.

Good comment.

"One of the scariest aspects of our times is how easy it is for glib loudmouths to turn us against each other, weakening the whole framework of society, on which we all depend. "

Ping me - thanks!

bump for later

[from occupied ga]

The next time somebody says that the government is forced to intervene in the economy to protect the poor, ask why the government is forcing taxpayers to subsidize municipal golf courses, the ballet, opera and -- the biggest subsidy of all -- surrounding affluent communities with vast amounts of expensive "open space."

Hard to pick a favorite, but I think I'll go with this one.

[Tax-chick]

I don't feel any different as I get older.

I hope that means you're going to live forever, Dr. Sowell!

[RebelBanker]

Thanks, Jaz!

I would be very hard pressed to try to pick a favorite quote here, there are too many that are too true.
