"Guinness and Zucchini." :lol: The subject, of course, would be send ups of social issues.
Having just read, at last, Friedman's "The Lexus and the Olive Tree" I am of course influenced by recency of experience.
Note: the best part of that book is that it came out pre 9-11. It presents Osama Bin Laden far more objectively than anything written since, and I must say that I think Friedman got that bit, one of his later chapters, right on: he basically predicted 9-11 without knowing he was doing so, I think.
"Super Empowered Angry Men" is Friedman's term for what defense and security specialists have been calling "extranational threats" since the Endless September of 1993, and the subsequent internet proliferation.
