Words To From The Wise

Genius Thought...Distilled Into Written Words


I was cruising around the Internet in a late night moment of insomnia, and found Thomas Sowell's latest article, entitled "Don't Get Weak"

Check it out...

Our education system, our media, and our intelligentsia have all been unrelentingly undermining the values, the traditions, and the unity of this country for generations and, at the same time, portraying as “understandable” all kinds of deviance, from prostitution to drugs to riots.

The home run records that made Babe Ruth famous have been broken but one of his records will probably never be broken — pitching the longest shutout in World Series history, 14 innings. Few pitchers go even nine innings these days.

“Global warming” seems to be joining “diversity,” “gun control,” “open space,” and a growing list of other subjects where rational discussion has become impossible — and where you are considered a bad person even for wanting to discuss it rationally.

I wish that I were THAT smart (and eloquent in my writing ability.)
