Sowell has the great and challenging characteristic that he never quite gives you the answer that would let you justify your first reactions with, "See? He agrees with me!" His writing is too nuanced to provide an easy escape from thinking, even if people occasionally use cut-up quotes to do so.
- debacle 6y agoI believe this is with great intent - ideologues of every flavor will leap at the first opportunity to claim speakers like Sowell for their faction.
- chmod600 6y agoThe left will never admit any agreement with Sowell, even about the weather. That's what the article is about -- he's completely ignored in liberal-thinking circles, and he shouldn't be.
