Review: 'Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World' Inspiring Profile. He said, "The vision of the Left — and I think many conservatives underestimate this — is really a more attractive vision. The only reason for not believing in it is that it doesn’t work."

"If done correctly it would work". No it would not.

Nobody works if he cant keep most of the fruit of his work because at any time a criminal or the government can come and take it away. It's that simple. The protection of the individual from criminals, from the mob, and from the government is the one necessary condition required for the collective wealth to grow.

"Socialists are well-meaning people". No, they are not.

This myth is particularly popular among conservatives because they lack the intellectual capacity to see through the rhetorical trickery of the left. But the main tool of the left is the lie. Theyre constantly distorting language and abusing language to fool you. Without lie and deceit they would not exist. Whatever they accuse you of is exactly what they are doing themselves.

A saxophone is a family of woodwind instruments usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece. Although most saxophones are made from brass, they are categorized as woodwind instrument. The Alto and larger saxophone has a detachable curved neck and a U-shaped bend (the bow) that directs the tubing upward as it approaches the bell.

With this instrument in hand, I can bash your skull in, mashing your brains to mush thus killing you. I can then stick my fingering in through back of your head, and operate your mouth, mimicking the motions of speech, turning your head into a puppet. Doing so however does not make me a saxophone player. No matter how animatedly I insist such to be a true.

Similarly, this is not a debate. No matter how adamantly you fail to engage with me. Because the basic implementation of every word you utilized is wrong.

"I am the dog father of monkey butts apple sauce!" No it is not. I once saw a man about a pudding recipe, but the recipe was gone? Poof! Where is my mother's wedding dress? Emancipation? Alienation? fortification? It's that simple. None of this is related to my reply.

"I have the strongest straw men, no true Scotsman can deny this!" False! Frank-N-Furter is far too intelligent for this trickery! He constantly launders the wardrobe of the open mind. He does this for the benefit of all men!

You can't just argue with the shadows in your mind. You're tearing me apart Lisa! Whatever I accuse you of, is exactly what I myself am doing here now. Oh and um... Soylent green is people. So... Don't eat it, or whatever.

I the ultimate puppeteer, declare victory! For I argue to win! And therefor I have!
