Ah...I remember the days of learning to manage electricity, my father would confiscate my machines from me if I left them on, as well as use my allowance money to pay the extra electric bill.

Countries, especially the US could do well in this area if only it had better education about energy saving, a government bonus for households with lower power usage, and better parenting to boot.

I can't wait to make my kids cry when I teach them about saving energy! :)

PS: I am kind of shocked by the responses thus far to this article, please tell me you guys are joking, please.

I'll just throw this out there, why don't all these "companies" with their patents sue each other?

Oh right, these patent holders(and yes holders in every sense of the word) have not done anything with their inventions and have no money.

This reminds me of something, I once invented a writing utensil with an ink tube in it, but gosh...it didn't take off, so yeah years later I sued Bic for actually doing something with it.

Yes the glory and pride is what exemplifies WW2, ask the old folks, it was a very patriotic war.

Do I personally believe that? No, I think glory and pride behind most any war is blind and self serving tool for nations, such as America, who thinks of themselves as huge heroes during that time, for example.

And yes Raul, the greatest generation will be one which keeps peace globally.

repost again, ugh... sorry, please delete.

Because, I just feel like its too recent, does not have enough glory and pride attached to it, and its was a dirty dirty conflict that should be studied NOT celebrated through products.

I hope that makes sense.
