Walter Williams nails it, like he does every time. I’ve never seen him go wobbly.

I discovered him in the 90s when I was in California. He was an island of sanity for me then. Great Mind. Great Man. And amazingly funny!

Leftists have always blamed (capitalist) society for all the ills of individuals. Nobody is ever responsible for their problems. Society is at fault if you screwed up. Except for evil capitalists of course.
For decades leftists touted the tabula rasa or "blank slate" theory of human mental abilities. You were whatever society put into you. There was no such thing as inherited intelligence.
We now know that's hogwash. People have inherited intelligence. In the nature vs. nurture argument, nature wins out about 75-25. Maybe more.

Wish he or Sowell would have run for President. Great!
Public schools are in “group” teaching.......no individual thought, think it has seeped into the daily life.

"Back in the 1950s and even later, many high schools had shooting ranges. Students even brought their own rifles to school." It asks, "What changed in society that we could trust such activities then, but not now?" I would like to ask America's anti-gun fanatics what accounts for today's mayhem: Have guns become more evil or have people become more evil?
I don't think guns are more evil. My rifle seems to be about as evil now as when I bought it 40 years ago. When I shoot it now it seems to have the same amount of he**fire coming out its mouth as back then.
And I don't think people are more evil now. When they stopped schools from laying a paddle (the Board of Education) across miscreants rearends it allowed some of the students to turn the whole school into a shooting range.

“It asks questions to which our fellow Americans should know the answers, save for those caught up in modernity.”
What does that mean? Is modernity a bad thing?
Should we pretend it’s the fifties again?

My wife and I both have photos in our ‘73 yearbooks with students in a classroom holding their rifles as members of the hunting club. Nobody thought anything bad about it.
To: sparklite2
You think it may have something to do with values and the sad state of public education now?

Yep, our high school like many others had an ROTC program with shooting teams.

Thanks for the post! Always good to hear from Dr. Williams.
Does anyone post the letter? Somehow it’s the one mass email I didn’t get.
To: jazusamo
It’s not strange if your agenda is to confiscate the guns
from the people.

Ha! We think alike. I haven’t seen but may have deleted it without even looking at it.
