Those engineers gathered about with their laptops are all hoping to become 
the pricks of the next generation who can sweat Chinese labor to produce 
riches for them. They may be nice, but they are either irrelevant or the 
enemy. 

---------------------- 

You have no idea what these engineers are hoping to become. I have worked with 
them every day for the last thirty years. 

Some want to be millionaires yes. A small minority. 

I'd say the rest of them are motivated by 1) the prospect of doing work they 
enjoy for a living wage and 2) the possibility of contributing to the general 
welfare. 

One engineer I've been working with for a dozen years, an observant Catholic, 
is now reading his way through Capital and planning his next job move to 
support his desire to "do good." I would not say he is an exception. 

We have moved into an IT resource-intensive era. These engineers are not the 
enemy; they are potential collaborators and supporters.
