Intelligence is an individual trait; some, like Sowell, have it while some, like Kaepernick (?), do not.

I had Sowell for a class on labor economics in college. The man is very bright, and his class was a lot of fun.

There is this construct called “Social Contract”.

From Wikipedia: “Social contract arguments typically posit that individuals have consented, either explicitly or tacitly, to surrender some of their freedoms and submit to the authority of the ruler or magistrate (or to the decision of a majority), in exchange for protection of their remaining rights.”

AFAIK, nobody in the US of A, nor any other country has agreed to this. I don’t see it in the Constitution. But this is the line of bullshit we are being fed. It is our moral duty to support Neegrow breeders / illegal aliens / migrants that we don’t want – because our ‘rigged elected’ officials want it that way.

We don’t pay taxes – they are ‘contributions’ – mandatory contributions. If we complain about this slavery, we are told we are fortunate to be able to have a good paying job.

As usual – those who care the least (those who don’t work, collect entitlments, don’t give a shit) – control the relationship.

The way I see it, none of my rights are being protected.

In reality they are increasingly either being taken away or progressively diminished with the intention of doing so in the near future.

Wouldn’t that constitute breach of contract?

The ‘social contract’ is a load of horseshit.

I don’t see how you get more third world immigration from that.

I took it to mean being born a minority -specifically a black- isn’t what determines your destiny, you are.

That would even apply to you, bb, you’re the one that ultimately determines your destiny in life.

We do tend to over revere the good doctors Sowell and Williams,
but one must admit, they do deserve respect for their accomplishments and their stated philosophies/opinions about
economics.

Murder was not the first sin. The first sin was envy.

Both murder and envy came long after the first sin, they were the result of it.

The first sin was defiance God, choosing to live by our own will and desire instead of God’s simple rules for us, when we were still in the Garden of Eden where he originally put us.

tRump should have picked this dude as his running mate. Of course that might require two funerals if/when tRump gets elected.

Sowell signed onto National Review’s “Never Trump” manifesto.
