From NYTimes.com: Making America Stupid
Op-Ed Piece by Thomas L. Friedman
Why would Republicans, the party of business, want to focus our country on breathing life into a 19th-century technology — fossil fuels — rather than giving birth to a 21st-century technology — renewable energy? As I have argued before, it reminds me of someone who, on the eve of the I.T. revolution — on the eve of PCs and the Internet — is pounding the table for America to make more I.B.M. typewriters and carbon paper. “Typewriters, baby, typewriters.”
Too often in politics it seems like you have to choose sides, even if your side doesn’t really make any sense.
