I don't have to read a column to know who Friedman is voting for and who cares anyway. He said only if oil went for $100 our energy problems would be solved. Well, it went to $140 and the whole economy ground to halt. What did the country reap from this "bonanza". Now he says we must keep gas at $4 a gallon and wishes we were China for one day. His "world is flat" idea hasn't panned out either. Why is he such a revered figure anyway?
