More concerned with where Obama was born (someone just posted a link to that nutjob Sheriff in Arizona - I refuse to watch) than with the fact that Mitt Romney is a sleaze who is only out for Mitt. How does that even make sense?LeftLeaningLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359577019343211327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002602.post-657357232822418002012-07-10T12:23:51.947-07:002012-07-10T12:23:51.947-07:00The World is Flat and the sequel...Hot, Flat and C...The World is Flat and the sequel...Hot, Flat and Crowded, are great books.But, like you say, here we are in 2012 and nothing has changed politically.

Political Processes... or one of the basic Poli Sci classes that was required for my degree. It was well-written and interesting. And disturbing. Friedman's idea of "flat" was not an actual flat Earth, of course, but that the playing field has been flattened by our increased globalization. He also provided suggestions about what could be done to fix the US - economy, education, etc - but none of that is happening. <br /><br />Sad commentary on our world.LeftLeaningLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359577019343211327noreply@blogger.com
