review 1: So many good thoughts, so little time.Written by a stalwart defender of personal liberties, these essays point out the flaws of "progressive" ideologies and programs. Many, if not all, of these programs have been established within the author's living memory. He remembers what it was like before government was ubiquitous, and encourages us to consider taking the hard path back to those days. Will it happen? I don't know...but his arguments for it are convincing. This book at once eloquently defends true freedom and the plain-sounding principles behind it, and deals a sweeping blow to the castles in the sky that the self-titled Illuminati pontificate regularly. Well-worth every minute it took to read the first time, and every minute I've spent re-reading it s... moreince.
review 2: Sowell lays it all bare, as usual. If you don't want to admit the government has overstepped its bounds in SO many ways, feel free to keep the wool over your eyes, as the Obama administration does so well. Sowell talks about this administration as the pinnacle of the underhand, socialist dealings going on in this country and it's true. Our rights are about to be taken, right and left, for the "good" of everyone. It's true, it's all dismantling America, bit by bit and creating a country that's doomed to fail. Sowell's writing is so easy to read, and these essays are the perfect 2-4 page length. You can read one or two and put it down for the day. A political must-read! less
