Thomas Sowell is a very intelligent man. His perspective and impartiality will be attacked because he is quite right leaning. This, of course, doesn't change the fact that his arguments are highly reasoned and thoroughly accurate.

One of my favorite quotes comes from him...

"To say that someone has a `right' to any [affirmative material good] is to say that others have an obligation to expend... efforts on his behalf, without his being reciprocally obligated to compensate them for it. Rights from government interference... may be free, but rights to anything mean that someone else has been yoked to your service involuntarily, with no corresponding responsibility on your part to provide for yourself, to compensate others, or even to behave decently or responsibly." -- Thomas Sowell
