256 [lbo-talk] The Blind Side -- rank: 1000
Joanna, on the Blind Side 'I conclude that this is a patronizing white fantasy about the relationship between whites and blacks.' Which point well made... still, there have been a lot of patronizing liberal white fantasies about relationships between whites and blacks over the years, this one stands out because its framing is conservative.

259 [lbo-talk] name games -- rank: 1000
Yes, well, how much Londoners miss 'Gropecunt Lane' is open to question ... I can't imagine that the London Feminist Network would route their Reclaim the Street march that way. There are a great many Maiden Roads and Lanes that are not really named for Maidens but bowdlerisations of Midden, or Shit-heap. When my daughters do the Fire of London for school project I always tell them that the road it started in 'Pudding Lane' is not named for any culinary pudding, but the pudding of turds that wer ...

260 [lbo-talk] M. Parenti joins the New Atheists? -- rank: 1000
The story is told of the surrealist and anarchist film maker Luis Bunuel that he was visited by a young acolyte who wanted to learn all he could. A few days into his visit, Bunuel took the student to a church. Seeing that no-one was around, Bunuel undid his fly and pissed into the font, motioning over to his friend that he should do the same. But he didn't. Outside, Bunuel demanded 'why did you not piss in the font as I did?' 'I don't believe in God', the younger man replied.

Further to Brad's question about falling labour productivity, the DTI graph on page five of this report: http://www.berr.gov.uk/files/file28173.pdf says that output per worker fell in the US, Germany, France and Britain between 1992 and 2003 (please someone tell me I am reading this wrong).

Brad asks: 'Where exactly has labor productivity been falling?' This is a bit out of date, but Britain's 'strong labour market performance may', in the words of the Department of Trade and Industry, 'actually have . the effect of lowering average measured productivity'.UK Productivity and competitiveness indicators, 2003, p9 This was first noted in 2001, when they wrote that productivity deteriorated as 'the economy has generated an additional 1.5 million jobs at a quicker rate than it has incre ...

Chris asks: 'So, which is the real meaning, "a voice crying in the wilderness, prepare me the way of the lord" or "a voice crying, in the wilderness prepare me the way of the lord"? ' To which the proper answer is that at any one time twenty-six angels can dance on the head of a pin...

Chris Doss's error explained... 'The shibboleth that the [South German] historical school [of law] has adopted is the study of sources, and they have carried his love of sources to such an extreme that they advise the captain not to sail his boat on the river hut at its source.'

266 [lbo-talk] Constant Capital and the Crisis in Contemporary Capitalism -- rank: 1000
Michael, I am looking at your paper now, but one objection that strikes me straight away is that when you write about Marx's assumption of a rising organic composition of capital, I have to ask whether you think that assumption applies to the recent growth of capitalism. I mean that since the end of the cold war, there has been a marked expansion of capital that has been labour, rather than capital intensive. for the last twenty years. With labour costs held down and new layers of people drawn i ...

Chris: 'BTW you can't comment on the Bible except in the loosest way unless you know Greek and Hebrew, because different English translations vary very widely. ' There's two answers to that: the first is that the Bible English speakers comment on is the English Bible, either the St James or the new one. Second, you put too much store by the poetic marginalia of translation and not enough in the meaning, like someone who worries about the wallpaper the previous occupant has hung when he is buying ...

Carrol writes: 'Regardless of that, Bryan should be remembered for his resignation as Secretary of State in opposition to Wilson's headlong rush to war!' OK, but I seem to remember that Lewis Corey had a much less generous account of Bryan's reconciliation with the House of Morgan.

Chris: 'when I say "God," I mean "the first cause" or "the ground of Being," not "guy in the sky with superpowers" (i.e., the pseudo-god of the Fundamentalists).' Well here's a thought, Chris, if you don't mean God, don't write God, write 'the first cause' or the 'Ground of Being', and then we won't get confused, but can happily participate in your discussion of 'the Ground of Being', or ignore it, but first of all not confuse it with the other discussion ...
