Friedman Hits the Nail
If you’ve read any Thomas Friedman you’re probably aware of his cocky catch phrases that attempt to sum up the world’s issues, like the “The Lexus and the Olive Tree,” a title for one of his books that refers to a theory of his about the societal structure of “Lexus” producing countries and “Olive” producing countries. Regardless of my disdain for his over simplification, he offen does swiftly hammer down on the nail.
In a recent column in The New York times titled “Bushes Waterlogged Halo,” Friedman talks about the direction of our country and our administration economically and more importantly, environmentally.
