Labor value has been significantly less then capital value for a long time, by design.
IMHO, this is bullshit, but it goes back to at least the vilification of the labor movement in the 40's. It continues today, with wealthy "capitalists" convincing working people to forego their best interests because of whatever single issue they can get people worked up about. Obamacare, abortion, drugs, welfare cheats; all of these are social issues designed to distract. Even crime, terrorism, and our recent wars are blown way out of proportion to give people something to argue about.

Even 1.5 can handle video for one device. upload is unimportant.

My daughters school required Ipads this year, which parents had to either purchase or rent. They indicated they would offset books by using resources on the Ipad, since the rental fee was about the same as book fees usually are.
Oddly enough, when book fees came out, hers were twice the normal amount.

Recent studies show some people have less trouble reading on a small screen. I love reading on a small screen. I've been using ebooks since I got my hands on a palm m505. http://www.fastcoexist.com/167...

Out here in the real word, feeling full does matter. Even if you don't eat more, hungry kids are more easily distracted and have trouble learning. Hungry co-workers can be crabbier and less pleasant to e around.

Well, technically WW2 was just a continuation of WW1, so you hae to go back pretty far to measure. You also need to take into account the suffering during an after the war. Sure it all seems ok almost a century later.

and you are everyone, funny, your profile says loufoque.

I usually skim and ignore death threats, but I find the way he alternates between threats and endearments quite alarming.

I wouldn't be so sure about your Putin calculations. He may have some sort of ace up his sleeve. David beat Goliath with one stone.

Appeasement doesn't work and it's a hard pill to swallow, but when you go to war, nobody wins. I don't think it's possible to find any war (or even fight) where either side was better off after then before, winner or loser. The only way to win is to convince your enemy not to play. Violence is awesome as a threat, not so great as a tool.

Why the ascii art pic of someone getting tea-bagged?

Uhhh.. The Doctors couldn't get their work done, so we ran a cable between these two network ports and everything works fine now. What does that ASA thing do?

That's the meta-joke.

You clueless fuckwits who don't protest how awful the police are have yet to experience what it is like to be a victim of them.
