Wonderful article.. Further confirming why Thomas Sowell remains one of the most eloquent and intelligent thinkers living today... It is bad enough when someone takes the position that he has made up his mind and doesn't want to be confused by the facts. Sounds like too many people we all know... Creating mindless followers is one of the most dangerous things our public schools are doing. Young people who know only how to vent their emotions, and not how to weigh opposing arguments through logic and evidence, are sitting ducks for the next talented demagogue who comes along in some cult or movement, including movements like those that put the Nazis in power in Germany. Sad, but true... And quite indicative of what has occurred in many parts of the world.. People who have no idea how many tragedies have befallen their ancestors, all in the name of preserving their freedoms. Hawk
