Many thanks, Jugs, for introducing me to Thomas Sowell. Living here on the fringe of space, we tend to miss better writers among the clutter sent to us in cargo container-loads at $1.50 a kilo. I`d never heard of him till I Googled for more info. His website looks promising. One section is a real gem. As a writer of sorts, I find myself in full agreement with Tom on the pitfalls of writing/publishing. Any scribblers here should try a sample:
Some Thoughts about Writing
P.S. I`ll look for the Rednecks book.
