Ted, > Think hubris and mendacity and intentionally scaring people. You mean like, "Health care is so bad, people are going to Mexico for operations"? Or "The world is coming to an end thanks to global warming"? Or "Bush and those mean Republicans want to kick old people out onto the streets"? Come on Ted. You don't define your life, preferences, and beliefs by asking other people, do you? Why should an elected official? Tenchusatsu

Hey Ted, I thought this was interesting: biz.yahoo.com > Most of the jobs will be filled by local employees, according to Bullard. Initially, experienced workers from outside the area will relocate here, but they will mainly be used to train local workers who will eventually fill the bulk of the 1,200 positions at the site. > Sen. Majority Leader Joseph Bruno made a brief appearance and got two standing ovations for his role in helping secure $1.2 billion* that is being provided by the state for the project.* That amounts to one million dollars per job. Wonderful. At least this is high-tech, but I wonder how many businesses NOT on the cutting edge of progress get those kinds of subsidies. Oil companies, for one? Tenchusatsu
