There is an old saying, that if you are not a liberal when you are young, you have no heart.
And if you are not a conservative when you are old, you have no brain.

I can’t recommend this “trilogy” highly enough,
and I can’t recommend that this transcript get an editor highly enough.
:)
I haven’t any quotes to affirm my conclusions about Sowell,
but there’s no way he can have this much truth about the nature of Man without the basic assumptions that you find in the Bible.

It’s really a shame that this man is not held up as a positive role model in the Black community.

Thomas Sowell - always a breath of fresh air.
To: GSWarrior
Liberals, especially black liberals, like con artist Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, can't abide truth tellers.
They would lose their income if blacks in general, figure out how the Democrats COMMUNISTS are playing them like pawns.

I guess I was a heartless b!tch when I was young...
Still am now :)

I've often said that
there are three questions that I think would destroy most of the arguments on the left, and the first is that uh,"Compared to what?"
The second is
"At what cost?"
And the third is
"What hard evidence do you have?"
Ah, there are very few ideas on the left that can pass all three of those kinds of things.
Worth memorizing.

I cant recommend this trilogy highly enough, I would second this... but I think the "trilogy" as shown is out of order. "Conflict" first, "Quest" second, "Vision" third.
All three are excellent and stand by themselves.

I havent any quotes to affirm my conclusions about Sowell, but theres no way he can have this much truth about the nature of Man without the basic assumptions that you find in the Bible.Here is what I will post if Im still FReeping when the dolorous day arrives that we can no longer look forward to hearing further wisdom from Thomas Sowell in this vale of tears:
Nobody can afford the time to check out every claim of what "studies prove." Even with the help of outstanding research assistants, I can only check out some. However, the big television and print media have ample financial resources to check out claims before they present them to the public as "news." But when "60 Minutes" didn't bother before basing a story about President Bush's national guard service on a forged document, do not look for a lot of zeal for facts when that could kill a juicy story or the political spin accompanying it.
Let's face it. There is not much pay-off to checking original sources.
Once a minister was explaining to me the structure of his funeral orations. He said, "At this point, you are expected to say something good about the deceased. Now, Tom, if I were preaching your funeral, what would I say good about you at that point?
He thought and thought -- for an embarrassingly long time. Finally, he said gravely: "In his research, he always used original sources.
I'll take that.

Definitely read Conflict of Visions first.
Oh, and if you are “fortunate” enough to read it before and after your salvation experience, so much the better - you get two perspectives on the truth.
