Friedman

[namus]

When I was a kid, every night my parents would say: Finish your dinner Tom cos children in India are starving. But now every night I say to my daughters - Finish your homework kids or children in India and China will take up your jobs here.
-Thomas L. Friedman

What I like about him is his way of expressing his thoughts in the simplest of words.

Well, I like his writings. But sometimes he can really go overboard with his pro-India and well disguised anti-China opinions.

I don't necessarily agree with all that he says/write esp the middle-east + china stuff he talks about. But he is sometimes a welcome relief from Noam Chomsky! ;)

Yes, perhaps.. :) lol

I had a gut feeling you would say this which is why I put out Friedman in the subject line. :))
