Good one.

abradleytaoI take it Mr. Sowell is being ironic? Don't believe so.
Quote:If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.
Thomas Sowell
I really believe, based on his work and merits, that he is being ironic in the first quote that you posted. He is pro affirmative action and a self designated Marxist.

What does his criticism of a current president's plan of action in relation to the ideas of former presidents and their interpretations have to do with him being ironic?
Many of the trends, problems and disasters of our time are a legacy of that era. We can only imagine how many future generations will be paying the price

Okay,
It seems the quote you posted was a context of one of his favorite quotations:
Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again.
--Will and Ariel Durant
I was wrong. I had the wrong train of thought.

I still don't get how your link proves anything related to what we were originally saying.

Explain more so that I can tell where you are coming from.
Everything we see, except what nature has furnished, was born inside of a mind of a man.

No, I am tied to the world because of some decisions I made in the past. At this point in my life I have been pushed into the public eye and am a steady figure in my community. I realized that people are doing the best that they can from their level of awareness.
howareyou32Enjoy the pain, sadness, disappointment.
I will enjoy the success, wisdom, and love that all humans possess inherently. I have always stood by the people, but I understand that I change myself to change the world.
