Thanks koan... you covered all the bases in proving Hawkins column to be accurate.

Sowell, Hanson and Prager are anything but simplistic.

I don't waste my time on him.

Therein lies the crux of the issue. You represent the model for the closed mind.
You only waste your time on thinkers that you perceive as relevant... how will you ever get outside that box with that mindset ?

we do it because it is moral.
You use morality as an excuse for ignorance. Sowell states it perfectly in his piece :

Life has seldom been within shouting distance of fair, in the sense of even approximately equal prospects of success.

Countries whose politicians have been able to squander ever larger amounts of a nation's resources have not only failed to make the world more fair, the concentration of more resources and power in these politicians' hands has led to results that were often counterproductive at best, and bloodily catastrophic at worst.

Sowell presents a fact backed up by reality.

You post bulls**t :
Giving money to a church is not charity.

Nowhere to go after such complete nonsense. Church's do not provide the very thing you call for ?

And not only should they be fed and have medical care but free pre school. That way they have a much better chance of becoming a productive memeber of society.

Do churches not freely feed and educate those that are less fortunate ?

I am not the one that does not understand social science and the role of society koan.

And clearly I'm not the one with a closed mind.
