Campaign For Liberty — The Attack on the Washing Machine by Mark Thornton:
"Only two generations ago, nearly every mother in the world slaved at washing clothes. Today, no one in the developed world does this. Instead, they can read, do professional work, teach children, hold parties, and generally apply their time to building civilization. As Rosling says, 'even the hard core of the green movement use the washing machine.'
But government is working on systematically reversing these advances -- attacking the washing machine's workings at the most fundamental level."
