More important, this country's survival is not automatic. What we do will determine that.

I wouldn't have it any other way. Happy Independence Day!

I do not care if its Thompson or Romney or Hunter, but someone had better get him on their team, and do it soon.

Even an endorsement, would be big, but think about it, having him as a speech writer, or advisor, dang, he would be good.

Someone needs to wake up, and get this guy, ASAP.

Agree fully. He would make a wonderful advisor and speech writer for a conservative.

Great ideas. A cabinet post or even veep would be better. Someone with intelligence and wisdom could do great things for our nation, and world!

Our national motto, "E Pluribus Unum" -- from many, one -- has been turned upside down as educators, activists and politicians strive to fragment the American population into separate racial, social, linguistic and ideological blocs.

Exactly. And they have been very efficient at it. This all started in the early 60s (an evil decade) and by now is simply generally accepted across the educational establishment, the media, etc. I have no idea how one could change it.

Sowell and Fred share the ability to distill the issues down to the core. Sowell would be a good fit for Fred's team.

Another great piece by Dr. Sowell!
This one is a bookmark piece!

John! Is there some way you can automate a web crawler which looks for new Thomas Sowell pieces and automatically posts them as threads? And, while you're at it, automatically make post #2 of each Sowell thread a BTTT with my handle on it?

Thanks for the post. One can always trust Thomas Sowell for words that display both intellect and wisdom.
