Thomas Sowell...

(...)We are so much more rational about sports than we are about politics. No one considers it "unfair" that Tiger Woods does so much better than the average golfer, or resents him for it, or accuses him of "gouging" when he collects big bucks.

British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher gave the best definition of "consensus": Lack of leadership.

Since neither the creationists nor the evolutionists were there when the world began, why are our schools teaching either set of beliefs, when there are so many hard facts that the schools are failing to teach?

O Townhall é um site mais conservador que Liberal, mas tanto Sowell como Walter E Williams (dois economistas negros) escrevem também no Atlasphere (registo necessario), inspirado em Atlas Shrugged de Ayn Rand. Donde se prova...o quê? Nada provavelmente. So que Sowell escreveu varios livros optimos para leigos em Economia como eu, e destacaria Basic Economics – A Citizen’s Guide to the Economy, Applied Economics – Thinking Beyond Stage One e The Vision of the Anointed.
Outro colunista que vale a pena ler é o Ben Shapiro, uma boa imitação do nosso Bruno Alves.
