…that’s what intelligence is, then where does wisdom fit in? Wisdom cannot simply refer to high intelligence. It’s something more. Defining Wisdom Let’s review several dictionary definitions of wisdom: ‘The quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment; the quality of being wise.’ And, ‘The soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of such experience, knowledge, and good judgment.’ Now we’re getting somewhere….

…ists, like Oprah and Warren Buffet, will be able to afford private and high-quality health care. Think public schools, only worse — because while the mind can often recover from bad treatment, the body usually cannot. Yes, it’s possible that the Supreme Court will decisively strike down ObamaCare this June, in a best-case scenario. But this will simply leave us with the high cost of medical care caused, in the first place, by a government-sponsore… Continue reading

Their point was that if military bases can forbid guns, so can everyone else in society. Their premise was: “Guns kill people; not people.

…anders or Hillary Clinton mean. Sanders and Clinton want college to be free-of-charge, an entitlement or birthright for all provided by “the government” — which means, in practice, for some to pay the tuition of others. But think about what colleges and universities are. They’re educational institutions of higher learning. Included in the education of a good college are the fields of philosophy, culture, political science, psychology and the human… Continue reading

…re to hear anyone go any further. In a recent washingtonpost.com column [10-1-15] David A. Fahrenthold did — just a little. He acknowledged that socialism is really less about money than about control. In the America that Bernie Sanders wants to create, tuition would be free for every student at every public college. Which, of course, is another way of saying that the government would pay for it. To do that, the Democratic presidential candidate w… Continue reading
…on Poverty launched in the 1960s initially raised living standards for low-income Americans, the poverty rate has not dropped since around 1970. “It has remained totally flat — and we’ve spent literally $1 trillion a year,” Bush said. “At some point, someone has to say: ‘This hasn’t worked. Let’s try something different.’” Try something different? How is Bush’s proposal different? Bush’s proposal merely reinforces the false idea that government h… Continue reading
