I’ve been listening to ‘Intellectuals and society’ by Thomas Sowell, and recommend it.
– Sowell makes more sense (on most things) than almost anyone I know of. Too bad he’s mostly ignored and unread.
Let me give you an example of the book I listened to today.
– Sowell mentions a case from England, where an elderly woman scared off some thugs by firing a toy gun at them (it had blanks in it). The police arrested her on the charge of putting fear into someone with a gun… or somesuch insane charge. (I hear these things and I can’t believe them. This would be satire if it weren’t real.)
– How can the humorists compete with PC bureaucrats? They’ve got their work cut out for them.
There was public outcry, I hope.
