Do you know why he got into economics? It's because he wanted to save the galaxy.

“I went into economics,” he wrote in an e-mail message, “because I read Isaac Asimov’s Foundation novels, in which social scientists save galactic civilization, and that’s what I wanted to be.”

Dude that used to post on here who was a big whiny liberal. Here's a thread that lays it out...including the letter he wrote to The Reveille claiming TD was a racist website. Someone found his picture on myspace and one of the greatest fark-fests in the history of the Rant ensued...

i'll defend innocent civs, but Hamas just picked a fricking war with Israel that led to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians
if they did not dismiss Palestinian lives, those thousands would be alive today
i'll agree with you fully that Israel may have gone crazy, but the one variable that if removed would have avoided all of this was Hamas
Hamas needs to learn how to keep its people in check and stop using civilian areas to store its weapons

man, I really like Sowell, but I think he's off here
no one says that Israel should keep each side's civilian casualties equal. that's a pretty blatant straw man. you don't have to believe such a stringent requirement is just to acknowledge that Israel has a problem with mistreating Palestinian civilians

Proving that yes, at least for Rexella, thinking is indeed obsolete.

That's also pure baloney. IDF soldiers murder Palestinian teenagers on a routine basis, then when some non-Hamas approved individuals murder three Jews Israel used that an excuse to decimate Gaza. Then, Hamas' s rockets were launched only after weeks of Israeli killing and homewrecking, in an obviously desperate and symbolic move because they know their weapons can't pierce the Iron Dome.
I used to have your same attitude... automatically excusing anything by the Israelis because they are on our side... supposedly. Then I began to LISTEN.

One needs go no further than "you didn't build that" to understand the extent of the problem.

what they say is that Israel's response is disproportionate and dismissive of Palestinian lives.
I am so sick of hearing about 'disproportionate' response from Israel. What would a 'proportionate' response be? This is war. Don't take a knife to a gunfight, and you won't get your arse handed to you.
As far as being dismissive of Palestinian lives, have you ever heard of an enemy combatant sending warnings about when and where bombs are about to be sent? If Israel was truly 'dismissive' of Palestinian lives, then Gaza would already have been leveled and there wouldn't be a single living being left.
