Sharing Some of Thomas Sowells' Witty Thoughts

Thomas Sowell is a former economics professor and currently a senior fellow at the Hoover Institute, at Stanford University.  I will attempt to share a couple or three daily.  I consider him to be one if not the smartest man in America.

Advice to the young:  You don't have to listen to anybody.  You can learn everything from your own personal experience.  Of course, you will be at least 50 years old by the time you know what you need to know at 25.

Environmentalism is not about the environment.  It is about ego trips for the busybodies.

If it were up to me, the age of adulthood would never have been lowered from 21 to 18.  It would have been raised to 30.  In recent decades, people have been taking longer and longer to mature -- and increasing numbers never make it.

Enjoy,
Andrew Smithson

Privilege in America

Privilege is what comes with being born in the great nation of America.  The nation founded by geniuses and run by idiots.  Many people like myself were born in poverty.  I didn't like it so I decided to change my situation.  I had to enter the military to work my way out.  I continued to apply myself until I was in a position where I could properly care for my family.  White Privilege is just one more lunatic liberal concoction made up by the left to separate people.  It works on the ignorant, youths wtih heads full of mush, are particularly venerable.  The only people trapped in their situation are those who choose to do nothing.  The people who live in the victim-hood neighborhoods of America.  It is still possible, and will continue to be unless Obama is successful in fundamentally transforming our nation, to Marxism.  At that point everyone will be equally poor and miserable.

The New Republican Congress

My hope is that the new congress will stand up against the lawless Obama Regime.  My fear is that Boehner and McConnell will be our modern day Neville Chamberlains.
