  • The New York Times ain't so nice now.

    Seriously, I hope this is an eye opener. Capitalism reigns. Rising tide lifts all boats.

    1. Commies? Come on! NYT is at best moderate capitalists. That's like accusing CNN for being left slanted commies, when they are at best slightly right-leaning. (as most of the american political specturm)

    2. Bummer for them to be caught doing the same thing.

    3. The business and content parts of a newspaper tend to have little to do with eachother. (that's the ideal at least) Especially if we're talking about columnists. Right hand, meet left hand?

  • Invention and talent are a person's possession. But when they decide to share the knowledge and know how of their creation with the world to mass produce then they have to share the profits with those whom without there wouldn't be any profit. You are only as good as the amount of product you can produce with your own to hands. The workers are necessary to produce these goods, they have the power and should have a good share in the profits.

    And they do. It's called wages. No one should ever produce for another without being rewarded for that production.
    If people would only realize this and stop being slaves who buckle under any pressure then they could pull all of the strings. People still think of themselves as being owned.

    If by people you mean everyone, I say bravo to this wonderful statement.

    If by people you mean only a certain portion of the workforce, I laugh mightily.

    This requires a caveat. Most American media is right-leaning in relation ot the world stage. However, within the context of American media, the NYT is very leftist. Certainly not "communist" though.

    Not really -- bummer for any who have suffered from those who turn the proselytizing of the NYT into law.

    No problems here, IMO. An important point that requires acknowledgement.

    As I said, moderate capitalists. :)

    You laugh mightily? Dude, can you even keep a straight face while typing ths shit?
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
