Good one. There are definitely a lot of bad apples, and the system the liberals invented is an invitation for abuse, but not all immigrants are bad. Let me give you an example: We just rented a new office. The managing agent from whom we rented and his son are Koreans, we had Chinese guys do the demolition and some construction, West Indian blacks are doing AC, we have Greek electricians, Mexicans are doing plastering, a friend of mine who is from Slovakia architecturally designed the new space and did a lot of construction, with another guy who is a Czech who is a carpenter. We have 2 Senegalese blacks helping us (they happen to be good friends and strong Republicans), the people who are going to be doing the glass are either Koreans or Japanese (I have not seen them yet. Joe, is your new office in the UN, or are you trying to set an example by showing how liberal you are when it comes to hiring people of different nationalities? ;~)) ted

Joe, Good to hear you had some good experiences. I've heard some bad union stories about New York, concerning the process to fix a bad cat5 cable; you can go ahead and fix it yourself but no one better find out you did! As we get closer to the politicians running out of money to buy votes with, I wonder how long before the money is worthless? Obviously they will start printing their own. This state quarter scam is a great way to take money out of circulation so you can print more. Steve
