"Those places were really big breeding grounds for lefties. Don't personally know any lefties produced by engineering schools, but I guess there are some." Slagle why were you hanging around cousin and friends who were loafers and not the hard working geeks? Back at uni it seemed every american and european student would partay til they puked but those guys from the UAE, india and china were borg machines. No time for anything but work and study. They didn't understand later when their very high scores and grades were not getting them the jobs - jobs that went to the local good ole boys who had lots of fun partay time in college with just average grades and scores. Many had dreams of finding good jobs in america and making a good life, most wound up going home when they couldn't get extensions on thier visas. I kept up with a few from the UAE and at the time they seemed thankful to come over here and study but talking to them now they seem very down on america. Oh the Gratitude - hehe.

Cousins and friends had dorm rooms that looked like they had never seen books or hard work. Those places were really big breeding grounds for lefties. What is this? Are you suggesting "lefties" don't work hard? Sorry that is an idiotic idea. Ever heard of Stalin?? He worked real hard killing whole loads of folks. He did work hard though, thats my point. Besides, as a rather anarchist (and successful activist, I waz no left wing commie though) student of the 70's I did notice the commies did lots of hard work and did a lot to stay organized. Maybe in America, but not here in "Europe" if you pleeze.
