There is something about Thomas Sowell’s writing that always makes me think. It goes beyond the fact he scares liberals witless because he refuses to play the victim or parrot the party line. It’s something much more basic. You see, it’s difficult to read his essays and not think about what’s happening in our country today. That is especially true with his collection of articles, sold under the title Controversial Essays. I challenge each of you to pick up a copy of the book from your favorite bookseller or library and spend an hour or three with it.
