La columna de Thomas Friedman en el NYT.

Los izquierdistas te lo dicen bien clarito, los que se empeñan en hacerse los distraídos son ustedes.

Las libertades individuales son un escollo más a superar en el camino a la utopía. La gente común es demasiado idiota para saber lo que le conviene y nosotros, los iluminados, tenemos la obligación de decirles cómo tienen que vivir sus vidas.

Entre nos, si Tomasito realmente cree que China tiene mayor conciencia ambiental que EEUU es mucho más pajarito ondeado de lo que me imaginaba:

One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century. It is not an accident that China is committed to overtaking us in electric cars, solar power, energy efficiency, batteries, nuclear power and wind power. China’s leaders understand that in a world of exploding populations and rising emerging-market middle classes, demand for clean power and energy efficiency is going to soar. Beijing wants to make sure that it owns that industry and is ordering the policies to do that, including boosting gasoline prices, from the top down.

Our one-party democracy is worse.
