There is no good political party anymore ...was there ever? Brian We'll see people speaking English? Contemplate for only a moment how and why English exists in the first place. It's a ******* tongue built from scraps of Latin, Celtic, Saxon, Greek, German, French, Norse, etc. "English" has changed more in the last 250 years than since the 10th, 11th, or whatever century one could say we began to see a language that roughly resembles English as we currently understand it. English features one of the most extensive and complex vocabularies in contemporary use. (If I recall correctly, we have 2-3 times as many words in the lexicon as some other romance languages with Latin heritages.). The result: our language is one of the most admired throughout the world. It is an excellent written language, as there is less need to hear vocal inflection to distinguish between conflicting meanings of words. Our language structure allows us to define our exact meaning with modification and context, rather than hand gestures or intonation. We should embrace the foreign speakers, and see what they can bring to our fabulous English smorgasbord. If we close our language to the inclusion of new ideas, it will shrink. English has become what it is (and what people hope to preserve) precisely by including additional languages. The presence of foreign languages in our midst enhances, rather than detracts, from the rich body of the English language. I say, "bring 'em on!"

The border patrol officer have to all go back to the station at shift change because they are not funded well enough to have vehicles that can relieve on station. Their budget did not increase with everything else for most of the last decade. The only tax break given to companies that "offshore" product is the relief they get from not having to deal with multilayer taxes (taxes paid on other taxes) and incredible state bureaucracies. You can't Excise tax an import only, but you can impost a duty or import tax. But, any the US does this the WTO rules it as "exclusionary" or "protectionist" and authorizes duties on US goods (usually farm products) that far exceed the value of the duty. This even occurs when a product is produced by a state-owner or subsidized company. If you are going to live in this country much longer, you better learn to love speaking Spanish. The USA does not have any law, code or rules that determine a national language. That is why ballots for all elections (including federal) and driver's examinations have to be available any language. Pubic schools can must provide instruction in the student's families' language of choice. You can not say native language, because many are third or forth generation citizens.

No, I didn't vote for 'it'. Not unless some politician was mis-representing his/herself. However, you make a lot of good points and illustrate how screwed up things have become ...maybe hopelessly so. As a professional who has on many occasions worked directly to 'offshore' the work that we all wish was here (you have to do what you are told), I got the impression that the primary reasons were taxes/cost on product produced, not so much the labor cost differences. At least in the world of high volume manufacturing, that's the way it was. Now I'm in a part of the company that requires lower volume manufacturing, much of it 'manual automation' (uh huh), and there was never any consideration for having it in the United States. Personally, I'd rather live through a recession/depression and start over. Don't export unless they buy more than they sell. Why can some nutless country operate with a trade deficit that works against the US and we don't turn it around? Don't import unless there are enough duties on the goods to make them as expensive as similar products in the US. F*&# the middle east and produce our own oil. We'd have to drill some additional known areas ...but how low do you think they'd drop the price if they knew they had to? Remember? WE use the majority of the oil ...why are we being man-handled by *them*? When is the big gorilla going to look in the mirror and realize it's strength? Want to see willing workers to 'displace' the illegal immigrants? Kill welfare. Done. Lots of willing workers. Go back to the idea of poor farms ....don't like hoeing beets and living in bunk beds with 49 other people at a time? Get a job. Protectionist? Too bad. We consume the most and have the most leverage. They can play strong arm games for a little while, but they'll eventually figure out who the big boys are. Brian "taxpayer" wrote in message ...

Illegals get to stay in this country because it costs us a small fortune in legal fees to get anybody deported, even if the officers just watched him swim the Rio Grand. Being rather close to the border action, I would say that the real reason we have such a large permanent illegal alien population is the pandering of the political parties (mostly the Democrats, with their concept on "inclusiveness" to achieve power) to the loud-mouth, seditious Chicano activists. They promise to deliver the Latin vote, garnering special privileges and favoritism that's cancerous to our republic. Meanwhile, the activists encourage non-assimilation into our culture, as this would erode their own power base. Through all the talk, and double-talk, the Mexican population of America grows by maybe 1.5M per year. Spanish ballots, drivers' licenses for illegals, public documents doubled in size to accommodate a Spanish translation, bilingual education, money for "arts" programs that celebrate the homicidal psychotics of the Aztec Empire. If you want to know what the real program is, just think Aztlan, from Spokane to Denver to New Orleans. Considering the zeal of the immigrative and reproductive warriors, even that might be too modest. Of course, we can't say these obvious truths, since anyone pointing this out would immediately be discredited as a racist, elitist xenophobe. I keep trying to vote the rascals out, but there appears to be an infinite supply of rascals. Ed (deep in the heart of Aztlan) |

charge account with 90 days free interest. Couldn't understand the caller (and wasn't in a good mood, since she woke me up), asked to speak to a supervisor, who also spoke broken english. I asked where he was calling from and you guessed it -- India. Told him to never call me again, and was so steamed I came down and paid the bill in full (I had intended to pay it the first of the month), closed the account and enclosed a note to GE credit that until they assured me that they had local (US) call centers, would not avail myself of their services again. The bill was not overdue, but a close reading of the fine print told me that I was to make a monthly payment (in spite of the fact that I had 90 days to pay, and was well within the 90 day limit) Copies to GE corperate, and S&K menswear (where I had opened the account) Brian D wrote: Hear hear!

Sure, then all the cheap products and services we've gotten used to will disappear or increase dramatically in price, so your higher wages won't buy you a damn thing. It's nice to sling simple answers around, but the economy is far too complex for them to be useful. All this whining about "outsourcing" and "offshoring" is nothing but a huge red herring. This is nothing new (it's been going on for decades) and it accounts for only ~10% of the job losses we've suffered. The only difference now is in the types of jobs that are going overseas. It used to be only blue-collar manufacturing jobs, but now that it's white-collar tech and service jobs too, people are getting all worked up over it. If we continue to demand cheap products and services - something that isn't likely to change - the trend to move jobs offshore will continue too. Protectionism has never worked, it never will and it's not the answer. Whether you like the global economy or not, it's reality. We all have to live with it and adapt to it. The key to improving the job market is to get the economy rolling again, but that takes time. The indications are good, but it's not going to happen overnight, no matter how much we complain or who's running the country. |

There must be something dreadful happening in Africa! Maybe a political uprising, or a deadly plague that is being kept secret from us all. If you have any relatives in Africa, encourage them to move off the continent as soon as possible. In the last week, I must have received a e-mail dozen notices that oil company executives had died in Africa, leaving substantial fortunes behind. Believe it or not, every one of these people listed *me* as next of kin! If so many people are dying in Africa that a whole boatload of relatives I never even heard of have redently kicked the bucket, think what the overall death rate must be. Truly astonishing.

With all these mysterious oil company relatives dying off, it will be more affordable than ever. ******************* Point: Laws against spam in the US won't stop offshore spammers from continuing their pain in the butt practices. |

If so many people are dying in Africa that a whole boatload of relatives I never even heard of have redently kicked the bucket, think what the overall death rate must be. Truly astonishing. Guess I should start shopping for that new multi-million dollar yacht. With all these mysterious oil company relatives dying off, it will be more affordable than ever. ******************* Point: Laws against spam in the US won't stop offshore spammers from continuing their pain in the butt practices.
