Thomas Sowell Tidbits

Townhall.com publishes a Sowell piece titled “Random thoughts on the passing scene.”  Random excerpts I enjoyed.

“The older I get, the more I realize that arguing on the basis of facts and logic only gets you labeled as someone who is out of step with the times, if not lacking in compassion.”

And.

“Many disastrous mistakes, in both public and private life, are not due to people thinking stupidly but to their not bothering to think at all. If you don’t stop and think, then it doesn’t matter whether you are a genius or a moron.”

And.

“It is truly a triumph of rhetoric over reality when people can believe that going into politics is “public service,” but that producing food, shelter, transportation, or medical care is not. In California, producing shelter gets you condemned as a “developer”—especially by those in “public service.”

Go pick a few of your own.
