Thomas Sowell on Growing Up

In an absolutely stunning article, one of my heroes, Thomas Sowell, has summed up the nature of leftist ideology and described my journey into reality and adulthood at the same time.

""Experience" is often just a fancy word for the mistakes that we belatedly realized we were making, only after the realities of the world made us pay a painful price for being wrong."

That journey, by the way, took me well into my 30s. And as he says in the article, many people never do arrive into genuine adulthood.

I have several of Thomas Sowell's books. He ranks up there as one of the giants of the conservative movement. If you've never heard of him, take an exploratory trip around his website.
