Magic Words by Thomas Sowell
« on: April 14, 2009, 09:48:53 PM »
Lincoln asked an audience how many legs a dog would have if you called the tail a leg.  Answer is 4, because calling the tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.

Today's commentary by Thomas Sowell reminds readers that just because you call something a particular name doesn't make it so.  Starts off about the Chicom selling US bonds but by mid article explains why "gun control" doesn't work.

Good article Alf, it just goes to show people need to simply use their brains for the purpose God gave them for. Sounds like 1984 in this nation, don't worry it's just kool-aid.

Can we elect Mr Sowell as secretary of common sense (and all legislation has to be passed by him)?

He sounds way too smart to even want to get involved first hand with the foolishness going on in DC.

To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
