It's a fact that Hanson, Sowell and C Thomas are among the great thinkers of our time.

It's a fact that koan is one of the shallowest individuals on SI.

Posting anything to koan and expecting anything intelligent back is a foolish endeavor IMO.

I think Sowell is very smart, but not sane. He had a strange childhood.

An ad hominem attack is valid if the source is not sane. The medium is often the message.

Like his recent comments comparing Obama to Hitler. That is crazy talk.

I wondered why I had never heard of him and now I know. He is seen as sort of crazy by most academicians and so most I am guessing wouldn't teach him much.

Believe who or what you want.

It is just my opinion
