ot ot - this will be my last post on this ot. Jim, You can wave OUR flag all you want and I will even join you. However, when people who are supposed to be representing the flag are doing stupid things to destroy our institution, they need to be exposed. Go back and read your own post. We all put foot in mouth once in a while and a simple apology would have sufficed. Then again, your patriotism mandates you to follow your leader - lie, twist the facts, don't inhale, or whatever but just deny deny deny. Jim, we are all racist in one way or another. Such is human nature. It is when you have no sensitivity and have no idea what you have said that is scary. Go take a couple PC classes, may be you will see the light. Ramsey

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! Mqurice 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.

Hi Jim, I am not here to interpret your message one way or another. I just want to tell you that not everyone who comes to the US choose to stay. I have a friend who immigrated to the US from Taiwan a few years ago. After staying in the US for about a year, he didn't like it. Since his company didn't have any opening in Taiwan. He went to China and worked in ShenZhen for 2 years. In those 2 years he worked as hard as your Mexican neighbor. He did an excellent job in China. Recently his company had an opening in Taiwan, so he moved back. I am not saying China nor Taiwan is better than the US. I just want you to know that there are people who have moved back to their origins after coming to the US. The opportunity that my friend left was a senior software engineering position in a Silicon Valley company. The US definitely has a lot of advantages over many developing countries, with standard living being the most obvious. But there are things that developing countries can offer that US cannot match. I for one is planning to go to business school in year 2000, and there is the likelihood that I will go back to work and live in China after my graduation. No, I will not give up my US citizenship, because I love what this country offers me, but China definitely has its attractions that the US lacks. Khan
