Another "Random Thoughts" post by Sowell

As usual, worth a perusal. And even those with short attention spans will enjoy this one.

a few of them as a teaser:
  • Whenever I see the kinds of expressions on the faces of people in high-fashion ads, I feel lucky that I never met them.
  • When the University of California system and the California State University system raised their tuitions, the headline in the San Francisco Chronicle read: "UC, CSU Reach Again for Students' Wallets." Apparently you are only supposed to reach for the taxpayers' wallets.
  • A reader says that he had a T-shirt made that said: "Stop Continental Drift!" It made as much sense as "Stop Global Warming."
  • When the Constitution's protection of private property was disregarded, so that politicians could rob from the rich to give to the poor, that also gave politicians the power to rob from the poor and give to the rich -- such as seizing homes in low-income neighborhoods and turning that property over to developers.
