QotD: Thom. Sowell

"It doesn't seem very scientific to have a good-looking nurse taking a man's blood pressure."
~ Economist Thomas Sowell

Other beauts from the same column:
The difference between mob rule and democracy was never more sharply demonstrated than by labor unions' attempts to prevent the Wisconsin voters' elected representatives from carrying out their official duties at the state Capitol. What would it matter what the voters want if any mob can stop it from happening?
Learned scholars still debate the reasons for the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Learned scholars of the future, looking back on our decline and fall, may simply be baffled as to how we could have been so stupid.
