Hi Mary, I agree. :) Guys like Grasso give capitalism a bad name. Greed and corruption on the scale that Grasso exists at should be a national shame. OTOH, I'm not holding my breath for capitalism to willingly "save" itself from its worst excesses: Message 19872102

<<< The maternity ward is where huge numbers of immigrant women end up. And it is not just a free public education they seek. They seek all the benefits of full citizenship for their children.>>> It is a good idea not to leave out "illegal" if you are talking about illegal immigrants indeed. just my thought

Fear of competition, Mary! The apartment cats of those developed countries they are afraid shitless of the people from other countries. They know they can't stand the competition and bring to the discussion the talk about foreigners coming to get welfare bla bla bla. Challenge them to do away with the safety net and let us see if they survive. I know the typical 19 year old from a developed country and I know they don't amount to much. When I started working with Siemens and the Germans, my God!, those seven year olds, couldn't handle an air ticket, a visa, vacination or anything relate to moving to another country. They need a babysitter for everything!!! And they need a higher salary, had no experience and they used to come to a project expetcing to be in charge. Ridiculous! Today the market is teaching them a lesson. And the lesson is hard, I can tell you!!! The next generation -the 19 year olds, those ones are DOA! These Asians are going to eat them alive for breakfast. I can tell that after 21 years working outside Brazil witht hose guys. I saw them!!!
