One of my brothers has gone a couple of times to your country to work in a sky resort. Couple of months, had fun, and came back with an interesting wad of dollars after paying for the plane ticket and accommodation. Of course with a dollar you can buy twice as many things here than there (unless they are imported items), so I can understand your feelings. OTOH your companies come to my country, make money and channel it out to their share holders. And when the economy gets weak they pack up and run. So we might say that if you don't want our workers we don't want your companies and your goods. Don't have a clear picture of where lies reason, but it probably does not lie in any of the extremes here mentioned. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
