Power Of Life And Death Is In Our Words

by Thomas Sowell - March 2nd, 2009 - Investor's Business Daily

Do not for one moment think that we are either intellectually or morally superior to those Germans who put Hitler in power. We have been saved by our institutions and our traditions — the very institutions and traditions that so many are so busy eroding or dismantling, whether in classrooms or courtrooms or in the halls of Congress and the White House.

Words matter. This is good advice from one of the smartest, if not the smartest, man in America.
