*OT on 'go back where you came from'* Jim, you wrote, "I have a Mexican neighbor who works like a dog in a factory 6 days a week at 12 hours a day." Now you are denigrating dogs! Hay, some of my best friends are Italian but my best friend is a dog.
While my best friend might not be particularly effective in factory employment he is gainfully employed and enjoys the work. They throw him a bone now and then. I presume your Mexican neighbor is also chained to the wall and barks at passersby to warn them not to attempt to steal or otherwise interfere with factory property.
The best place to live? Many Americans try to come and live in New Zealand because they find it much nicer than their own country. Hay, I find plenty wrong with New Zealand but that isn't reason to leave if I can't find somewhere better. The first thing we need is some executions and fear transferred from normal people to criminals.
Keep in mind, the point was, China puts up with the USA presuming to instruct them on how to run their country. The USA is presumably not particularly interested in being instructed by China on how to run the USA.
Meanwhile, not surprisingly, the USA has had cause to destroy an oil pipeline from Iraq to the Mediterranean. Told you so! Libya is still in limbo with negotiations on the 2 Lockerbie bombers continuing - their pipelines will be next. Iraq's oil production has been cut by 1 million barrels per day [50%]. Not enough to hold the price up! More cuts will be needed. Looks as though Iraq was right about the sanctions [back in 1991] not being lifted, looks as though they were right that USA intelligence services were working in Unscom. Looks as though there is no international law still. Looks as though target practise on Iraq will continue indefinitely.
Anyway, enough rant. Back to Qualcomm and VCOs, which is much more relevant!

PS: Hay, Americans say they love democracy, but I'd be interested to see what they think of the proposition that the whole world be run as a democracy. You know, each Chinese, Indian and Brazilian having an equal vote on the running of the world. I suspect they'd be a bit unhappy about that. |
