Thomas Friedman, the plagiarizer

"With the ballot box available, why should there be recourse to the street?” It is an important question, and the answer, I believe, is the convergence of three phenomena. The first is the rise and proliferation of illiberal “majoritarian” democracies."  He plagiarizes what he presented as his own "belief" to a recent article in the Economist magazine.  I mean, I am not surprised. This man in years of writing and pontification, has not vomited one original idea or a new insight on any subject.  This is a man who comes up wit cliches to compensate for his shallowness.
