* Thomas Sowell on Intellectuals & Welfare:

This is a very quotable interview: "Intellectuals give people who have the handicap of poverty the further handicap of a sense of victimhood."

Also: "[Although intellectuals pay a lot of attentions to inequality among racial groups], seldom . . . has this attention been directed . . . toward how the less economically successfull . . . might improve themselves by availing themselves of the culture of others around them."

While I'm at it: "Sweeping claims for the benefits of . . . diversity in innumerable institutions . . . have prevailed without a speck of evidence being asked for or given."

My personal favorite: "The road to hell is paved with Ivy League degrees."

http://lfb.org/shop/economics/the-gre...
"It has been estimated the on the average some 30 percent of all males in primitive, hunter-gatherer societies died from unnatural --violent-- causes, far exceeding anything experienced in this regard in modern societies."  (footnote: Napoleon Chagnon, "Live Histories, Blood Revenge, and Warfare in a Tribal Population," Science239 (1988): pp. 985-92)

* Great Andrew Slater Interview.  He's currently living in Northern Iraq as a civilian and teaching English.

* Small correction:  I referenced the three stories in the book with well developed Arab characters.  I meant Arab OR Afghan characters.
