In light of the new plan by John Kerry to give tuition aid in exchange for public service, I liked this thought from Thomas Sowell in his “Random Thoughts” column today:
“It is truly a triumph of rhetoric over reality when people can believe that going into politics is ‘public service,’ but that producing food, shelter, transportation, or medical care is not. In California, producing shelter gets you condemned as a ‘developer’ — especially by those in ‘public service.'”
