Does a wolf pack count as a herd?

Or possibly the raptors I keep hearing so much about at the movies?

If we're going to critique Friedman, I agree that his verbosity is fair game, but hardly the best criticism. How about his just being plain wrong about almost everything? How about his not including the proliferation of the English language through developing India as a flattener, especially as the language adopted by virtually all programming languages?

Anyway, I'm not a particular Friedman fan either, but sometimes the critics seem to miss just as much of the point as he does (unless, of course, I'm the one missing the point - which is always possible).
