So is his blogger friend, who thinks we are running out of everything. The problem here is pervasive: every little birdbrain writer gets a few soundbites under his belt and suddenly he thinks he's einstein.

Friedman is especially bad about this. If you ask him, he's solved the whole world's problems several times over--then he wakes up and sees that nothing in his paltry lifetime has changed. In the middle of the night it must suck to be nothing but the Slimes's homemade writer/android.

Sound like the economics version of psychobabble. Middlebrow terms like “sustainable flows” and “net zero”, what kind of crap is that? All he seems to be saying is that some people are wasteful and misuse things and maybe should be more thoughtful about how they go about their daily lives. Well, BFD. That “problem” has been with us since the first cave men took a walk over the hill and got into a spat with their neighbors. Dressing it up with pseudo-intellectual buzz words doesn't change it.
