Clearly this author has never stepped foot on a modern American engineering quad. If you get rid of the foreign-born engineering grad students, it'll look like a neutron bomb went off. Nevermind that these foreign born engineers are good for the US economy. Although Sun Microsystems is the best example off the top of my head, it certainly isn't the only one. In fact, Chinese or Indian executives run 27 percent of the 4,000+ Silicon Valley businesses started between 1991 and 1996. In this vein: http://www.post-gazette.com/forum/20001015edflorida8.asp > > 6.)

I guess the fact that at peak production in 2025, ANWR would only reduce consumption of foreign oil by 3-6% didn't occur to them, eh? > ~~~If you agree with the above forward it to > friend... > > If not, and I would be amazed, DELETE it !!!!! How about a third option, namely, identifying it as the festering pile xenophobic jingoistic crap is it? The US is a country of immigrants, and always has been. The only difference today is that you don't always have to wait to hear an accent to identify someone as a member of the 'Other'. When my dad's grandfather came to Boston from Cork, you might be able to pass him on the street and not realize he wasn't born here, if you didn't hear him speak. Just because you can do it now from across the street based on appearance doesn't make it any less bigotted. jh
