"The ostensible reason for releasing al-Megrahi was compassion for a man terminally ill. It is ironic that this was said in Scotland, for exactly 250 years ago another Scotsman-- Adam Smith-- said, 'Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.' "

This kind of fits in with his suicide of the west  He didn't say he was writing a multi-part editorial, but he's up to the third part with no indication if this is it...or there is more to come.

Thomas Sowell - Dismantling America: Part III - Full Article

Good job by Thomas Sowell.

Forgot. There's a four-part interview with Sowell on Human Events/Uncommon Knowledge. I'll have to finish later when I have more time...and kick on the desktop (better speakers).

This seems more of a fit to this thread. Deals some with immigrants, but more so western culture in general. I'll tell ya...I really enjoy reading his stuff. Makes sense, well written, and gets to the point.

ROFLMBO(and I can't get up).  Good ones. My faves, I think, were pretty much 14 through 7. 

Found this in the 25 best quotes:  Interviewing Thomas Sowell About Economic Facts And Fallacies

... If someone asked for a basic formula of what you need to do in life to avoid being poor, what would you tell him?

Finish high school and get married. The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits ever since 1994. You would never learn that from most of the media. Similarly you look at those blacks that have gone on to college or finished college, the incarceration rate is some tiny fraction of what it is among those blacks who have dropped out of high school. So it’s not being black; it’s a way of life. Unfortunately, the way of life is being celebrated not only in rap music, but among the intelligentsia, is a way of life that leads to a lot of very big problems for most people.

Good video of Sowell. About six minutes.
