    bravo, very well said, thank you . . . but, wether he likes it or not, he is, surely a romantic hero, folk hero - the stuff of legend and of contemporary gold in terms of biography elevated (as well as 'popularised')

    I don't know Sowell but I see all the conservatives use him a lot because he's one of a handful of Black conservatives that makes sense but he only speaks things that are true this is why you hear him quoted so seldom by there pundits but they do mention his name often this is very funny because the truth is very hard for them to act that way.

    In one of Sowell's books, he addresses school choice and govt subsidized housing. He supported school choice because it allowed parents whose kids go to poor schools, to send them to better schools. When it came to govt subsidized housing, he was against that. Why? Because then people from poor neighborhoods would be able to move to better neighborhoods and then send their kids to the better schools in those better neighborhoods. Sowell said those kids originally from poor neighborhoods would reduce the quality of education in the good schools. Funny that.

    Conservative old dudes should have web-sites? Sounds like a couple of decades back, when old dudes talked to each other on their blogs. And these two old dudes clearly constitute a classic mutual admiration society. Reminds me that wisdom does not necessarily come with age, sometime age shows up all by itself. Conservatism is an exercise in futility. Keepers of the status quo; proponents of some non-existent bygone era; all are lost in a self-induced pipe dream. The only aspect of reality that can be relied on is change. As Lenin said, sometimes not much happens for decades, then a decade can happen in a year. That happens mostly because folks are fearful of change and some will attempt to move heaven and earth to thwart and deny it, and then the levee breaks and change floods over us. 2024 or 2025 is shaping up to be that kind of flood. Learn to embrace it and swim with the flow, there is no real alternative besides denial.
