Under the title of "Culture".

Can Sowell nail them or what? The best definition of a liberal I have seen. Italics mine.

"The idea that there is no such thing as truth has gotten very fashionable in some quarters. It is now called 'my truth' or 'your truth' or somebody else's truth. But truth loses its meaning if it becomes private property. The whole point of truth is that it enables one person to rely on what someone else says.

Behind all this evasion of reality is the simple fact that some people have constructed a vision of the world in their mind which differs greatly from the real world. And they cannot bring themselves to give up that vision. Nor will they allow others to shatter their vision with facts.

The real question is: Why do we take them seriously? Are we so easily impressed or intimidated by their airs of superiority?" --Thomas Sowell
