I no longer have any respect for this Friedman. His only claim to fame are insightful sound bites (mainly for the daytime talk show crowd) that he carefully crafts for one sole reason: moving product. Seriously; if you see him on TV for more than fifteen seconds, he will spew out some BS phrase like 'The Lexus and the Olive Tree'.
Given the massive Apple payroll, Jobs could demand a virgin be presented to him at every full moon, and the Cupertino City Council would unanimously vote Aye! #StandardOil2.0
This is why oneshould avoid buying batteries with a dramatically higher CCA (cold cranking amperage) than the factory spec. To get that larger potential in the same size case, the number of lead plates is higher while also being much thinnner. The thinner plates break down faster and the individual cells in the battery short out more quickly.
would burnish his legacy by practicing a little contemporary revisionist history...
It would be interesting if there were any corresponding personal accounts by actual British soldiers involved, but I assume that's already been looked for.
effectively killing public education (which is GOP Job #2 after zero taxes for the rich and corporations) is the quickest way to destroy an egalitarian society and replace it with Fuedalism 2.0, where landed gentry have educational access and the permanent poor are left to sink or swim in a cesspool of Darwinian Economics.
Yes, Public Education is flawed and in need of fixing (including tenure for the incompenent and ambivialent), but actively pushing for its destruction is pretty damn un-American.
This is such a great idea; states bidding against each other with out-and-out bribes for companies to move. Why do you think the only new US factories are opening in the South? They sell their impoverished desperate citizens willing to work for pennies on the dollar as a 'business opportunity'.
Putting a dump site close to the ocean (like at Humboldt Bay Nuclear) means that the site will have to be moved, likely at great expense, owing to seal level rise.
You cheapen the labor by allowing an artificial recession in the form of a Sub-Prime pyramid scheme. The remaining middle class is slowly eroded, the children will be worse off than their parents, and with the demonization of unions, the labor rates can be forced down. We're about ten years away from the resurrection of robber barons and the company store.

the NSA still has branch offices operating under the name AT&T.

I don't like him, given his Lenin-like intolerance.

From what I understand, Windows 8 will also be MRSA-compatible!

So the SNL parody about the movie titled "The Core" wasn't too far off.

don't tax me; tax that man behind that ISP.
Don't Macs fall within seconds of the start of the yearly Pwn to Own contests, merely by browsing to a web page crafted for just such ownage?
Prepare to be disappointed. And avoid watching anymore Keynotes.

It's more likely than you think.

Goddam seals ruin everything!
