Dr. Sowell,
You are one of the greatest thinkers and writers of a century, and a man of character and endurance. Thank you— don’t stop! — and many happy returns!

Happy B’day Dr. Sowell! I’m sure you are either posting or lurking here. I doubt it is possible that you are the most brilliant thinker of our time without spending some time at FR!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Dr. Sowell,
God bless you for the work you do. Lord willing He will bless us with many more years of your clear speaking, to the point essays. Your writings are a breath of fresh air and are as necessary as sunshine and rain.

That pic must be 30 years old, or, he has super genetics!
I hope he's mentoring a host of conservative black intellectuals who can begin in ernest to pull the black community away from the marxists. I read recently that 52% of black 5th graders are functionally illiterate. That's a crime - pretty much genocide. And we can thank all those compassionate marxist state reps, union teachers and school officials for allowing this.

I have learned more from this man than I learned throughout any other economics/philosophy education,
without ever being in his classroom.

Let’s share some of Dr. Sowell’s classic comments.
One of my favorites was that he was glad he got into Harvard BEFORE there was affirmative action!
