The end of the Thomas Sowell columns will be much appreciated.
Once in a while he had a base hit, but mostly they were strikeouts — as another reader pointed out a while back. He had poor, if any, logic in presenting viewpoints, and was mostly out of touch with reality.
Sowell’s main reference point seem to be when he was a teenager (in the late 1940s), and seems a very poor and obsolete frame of reference.
Sowell has used a picture where he looks about 40 years old, instead of the 86 he is. That would be disingenuous on a personal dating site. In a syndicated column, even more so. The Columbian has some responsibility to promote a higher level of honesty in its contributors.
As a replacement, I would like to see columnist Paul Krugman. He is an economist, and even a Nobel prize winner, and some of us would appreciate someone with a different perspective than what Sowell has provided.
