Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene

Thomas Sowell writes his Random Thoughts periodically and they are always worth a read. Two of my favorites from this list:

• "Whenever I hear terrorists referred to in the media as "militants," it is a painful reminder that we have degenerated to the point where we no longer even have the courage to talk straight."

and

• ""Nations are like men in that they prefer a fuss made in their behalf to real services rendered." Although de Tocqueviolle said this back in the 19th century, it may help explain why the black vote today is so overwhelmingly for the Democrats, when Democrats have done so little good for blacks and so much harm."
