No need. I remember back when Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida a few people in the Spanish radio and TV stations referring to it as Huracan Andres.

I'm creating a typed DataSet for my XML file and I'm having trouble modifying the XSD file to conform to my data's format. Here's a sample of my data:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<dropdowns>
<Country lang="en">Albania</Country>
<Country lang="en">Algeria</Country>
...

I need for my Country data table to have two columns: "lang" and "name". How do I set up the XSD to treat the contents of the Country element as my name column? I've tried this, but it's not working:

<xs:element name="Dropdowns" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true" msprop:Generator_UserDSName="Dropdowns" msprop:Generator_DataSetName="Dropdowns">
xs:complexType
<xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">

</xs:complexType>

How do I fix the part in bold? Thanks! Alvaro

Tyranny is any act of government which requires me to act in some way other than I freely choose to act.

Oh, if that's the case, Welcome to Tyranny! It often sucks to have restrictions on your freedom, but when you consider that in societies such this one, it is usually done with the common good in mind, it makes it easier to accept. The restriction I hate the most are speed limits. They're usually 10 or 15 mph slower than they ought to be. Short of becoming a tyrant yourself, I doubt there's a place on Earth that allows you to act completely free. Even a tyrant has to watch his back.

Regardless of the economic issues, pro or con, it is simply an act of political tyranny for any government to force free citizens to pay more for something than it is otherwise worth to them.

If you equate government regulation to tyranny, then you're right. However, according to dictionary.com, tyranny is: 1. arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power; despotic abuse of authority. 2. the government or rule of a tyrant or absolute ruler. 3. a state ruled by a tyrant or absolute ruler. 4. oppressive or unjustly severe government on the part of any ruler. 5. undue severity or harshness. 6. a tyrannical act or proceeding. Is minimum wage really "severe, harsh, or oppressive" for businesses? Are they suffering because instead of paying $3.00/hour for a janitor, they have to pay $7.15? If you look at the Economic Policy Institute's Minimum Wage Issue Guide, in 1975, CEOs earned 78 times the minimum wage earners of their day. Today's average Chief Executive earns 821 times what a minimum wage worker earns. Oh, the tyranny! :rolleyes: Alvaro

What happens if you have children without a permit, do the kids get taken away by the government? Do you get thrown in jail?

No. My idea would consist of sterilizing everyone at birth. Then, after you and your partner have demonstrated that you're willing and well prepared to be good parents, you would both be desterilized temporarily until pregnancy is achieved. Think about all the problems this would solve: no more unwanted pregnancies, no more abortions, no more extra-marital pregnancies, less chance for dysfunctional, abusive, or broken families, less chance for children to have to suffer in poverty, less chance for children to be born with birth defects, diseases, or drug addictions. The result: a better society. Alvaro

Barring the reasons, what would you say if and when it does happen? Will you believe that the cause was due to this acceptance in the here and now or just how nature intended it to be?

It's very simple: it will never be accepted. Just because people have spent thousands of years persecuting, demonizing, or rejecting sex between people of the same gender doesn't mean that in a thousand years we will be accepting sex between humans and animals. It's just another slippery slope fallacy. Alvaro

You cannot mix the two without eventually becomeing all Marxist. The more you give people, the more you have to give them. The more you care for them, the more you have to care for them. It becomes impossible to control over time.

If I read you correctly, you believe that most people are looking to do as little as possible while taking as much advantage of others (government in this case) as possible. I don't see it that way. I believe most people (in this country, at least) like standing on their own two feet and finding prosperity on their own, based on their own abilities. You give them the opportunity to make a living doing something they're good at, and they'll take advantage of it. They prefer the house in the suburbs, the nice car, and the big screen TV, to food stamps, the bus, and living in crime-infested projects. That's how I see it, and it's evident in our strong middle class. I'm sure there are those who don't give a crap and prefer poverty to lifting a finger, but that's such an insignificant minority that we shouldn't worry about them. The ones we should worry about are the ones who genuinely want to get on their feet (after they fall or get tired of being down), and simply can't because everyone has turned their back on them. Those are the ones we should never abandon if we are to continue having a strong middle class and low crime rates. Alvaro

If the choice is: we interfere and they call us "Imperialist" or we don't interfere and Chavez, Castro, Hussein, or Jong-Il happens, I'd rather we interfere. But it has to be swift. As long as we take care of the problem swiftly, the bitching doesn't hold much water nor does it last too long. Alvaro

So, in other words, the only thing wrong with Marxism is that it hasn't been tried yet by the right people. If only 'normal' people were in charge giving government all sociatal power would be just fine.

No. I'm a centrist and I believe in taking the best of all sides to arrive at a happy medium that benefits those at the bottom (so they can get on their feet) and everyone else (so they can continue rising). One reason this country is so great is because it applies some socialist concepts, such as government regulation, progressive taxation, and welfare programs to its capitalist economy. The result is a happy medium that makes it possible for anyone to prosper. That's what Venezuela needed, IMO. Alvaro
