VIDEO: The life and thought of Thomas Sowell

Things are quier... too quiet! Well, maybe not. After all the brouhaha and foofaraw of the last year -- the "anus horibilis" --, it's nice to have a few days or weeks with nothing to do (thanks to the Nanny State) to reflect on where we've been and where we're going. The "we" in this case refers to those of us with a conservative turn of mind. 

The other day we reposted a video in which Dr Thomas Sowell -- American economist, social theorist, and senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution -- talked about black culture, a subject about which he is qualified to speak since he is black. (No, he doesn't insist on "black" being capitalized.) 

Just by coincidence, the Free to Choose Network yesterday posted a biography on Dr Sowell which we think is well worth watching. Here it is.

If only America had more Thomas Sowells and fewer professional Blacks like "Rev." Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Maxine Waters. Keep talking, Prof. Maybe as we "progress" into the era of "Black entitlement", more people will listen.

Footnotes: 

- Did you notice that Prof. Sowell's name is pronounced as one syllable, "Soul"?

- Key thought: It's amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites.
