Thanks for posting. Always a pleasure to read Sowell.
Part One: “Human beings differ in what they want to do.” (We are free to do what we want.)
Part Two: “All the while we had the power to vote them out. Even now, many are too absorbed in their electronic devices to know or care.” (We should be careful about our votes.)
Part Three: “There is no economic determinism. People choose what to spend their money on, and what to spend their time on.” (We are free to do what we want.)
Summary. Sowell is stating the obvious and asking us to be more responsible with our kids, our culture and our votes. I hope he would agree with me that the Lord should be the center of our lives.
