China is the most dangerous country in the world today. And the information about how horrible the Chinese, despite them getting MUCH worse given the economic situation, the information flow has been nearly shut down since 2007 timeframe. There were big 60 minutes type exposes in 2007 but since then the Police State has seen that information regarding our forced consumption of Chinese Walmart Plastic with Federal Reserve Notes remains in place.

Given modern industrial process and productivity, I don't even see how using Chinese slave labor saves that much in the face of having to crate up and ship the goods from china to consuming markets.

The bean counters saved maybe 10% at best making product, and now with the price of shipping goods going up due to petrol, they are probably paying more to have it made in China.

The only real reason it may never come back to the US is a host of states (NY, CA) and The Fedzilla / US government that have a long list of anti-business laws making a return to the US difficult.

You want Made in the USA? Tell state and federal congress to stop doing everything to drive up the cost of business compared to China and India (the only two competitors that matter); stop buying Chinese crap where possible.

Slave Labor rented at a PREMIUM with low quality results is still apparently cheaper than coming back her

Most egregariously, when IBM launched a lawsuit against a company providing support for the open source TurboHercules software

... IBM never sued. TurboHercules made the claim - but it never happened.

To the contrary, Microsoft gave TurboHercules money.

TurboHercules is a proxy to attack linux, same as SCO.

Nope, HFCS is worse than sugar. http://www.themoneytimes.com/featured/20100326/high-fructose-corn-syrup-worse-sugar-id-10105392.html

A peeping Tom would get prison, how is this not the same thing only worse? School administrators should be made to realize that they're not gods, and the kids and their parents have rights.

Seeing as how Zero Tolerance systems are having 12yo kids taken away in handcuff for drawing on desks, I don't see arresting the school board for this kind of behavior is out of line. http://www.themoneytimes.com/featured/20100206/school-girl-arrested-drawing-school-desk-id-1099589.html (according to that link, it was an erasable marker)

...If Amazon can dictate terms to book publishers in this fashion...

Actually the whole premise of the article is a fraud anyways, since amazon already caved to McMillan, which will now set the price of e-books on amazon.com, and already sharply raised amazon's previous pricing. So tell me, who is dictating terms here?

Lost on many nincompoops is the fact that the oil trading was planned to Kish Isand, off the coast of Iran in Persian guilf - anybody pinged them lately?

I doubt it:

Per this article:

http://www.themoneytimes.com/articles/20080206/internet_service_to_be_soon_restored_as_disrupted_cables_repair_begins-id-1016930.html

Note last sentence:

"The other ruptures occurred on a looped cable that was cut in two places, off the coast of Dubai and between islands near Iran, where the repair work is also being hampered by bad weather."

Note especially the phrase "between islands near Iran" - as in Kish?

I'm sorry, but all men are born with an innate right to defend themselves from others and the government. You government takes away your innate rights. People are born with the right to life, liberty and to pursue their dreams and to property, so long as they do no deprive others of their right to live, liberty and property. All people have the right to speak freely, the internet you are using to try and advocate stripping my rights is far more free than your press, all people have the right to self defense against tyranny and crime, all people have the right against search and seizure without proper warrant, all people have the right to not self incriminate, and the right against double jeopardy, all people have the right to a jury of peers and a public speedy trial, and all people have the right to a punishment that is not cruel or unusual.

I'm sorry your horrible government cant enumerate rights for you. We believe, and have shown, that free people do thrive. Your government executes more people each year than are murdered in the USA, and your government is guilty of killing tens of millions.

Lets have a list of what PROC/China is up to of late:
