^ Why don't companies in the west lobby to reduce the cost of living of their employees at home? It seems sending people overseas to work for less while subsidising their cost of living is accomplishing the same thing. If the tactics pointed to above gets popular, i see a sea of westerners moving to cheap labor markets and locals not standing a chance. So much for that "outsourcing helps developing countries" gamit.:) Looking for me in cyberspace?

There are over 40 million poor people in the US, i don't think the amount of people who collect welfare come anywhere close that number. Besides it seems the middle class is as equally fat.

As a solution, i say make the environment exercise friendly. Make broad side walks available on every city street and on every neigborhood street. Companies must start looking seriously into ways to keep people from spending long hours at desk jobs (these are the jobs available in the modern job market), such as much shorter hours where people can do their jobs efficienty in short time spans and also invest in telecommuting so people can work from where ever they choose to. Make major investment in vast public transportation systems so people do not spend as much time riding in cars as they currently do.... Looking for me in cyberspace?

Because she's republican? probably,because she has a phd? that would actually be a plus in my book. I think the make-up of the congress is what needs to change first, otherwise any non-white president am afraid wouldn't feel empowered and probably end up just a poppet. It wouldn't matter which party in congress has a higher percentage of non-white representatives but i think a much higher minority representation overall would be essential psychologically for the success of any non-white president.

I don't see any conflict between me refering to myself as african (i care very much about africa and its people) and at the same time upholding american ideas. You have no idea the debate i find myself in with others, trying to defend those american ideas, many of which the people i debate with find to be sacrilegus at best. Being american to me is about upholding those ideas not just having the label on yourself. I have encounted many people who call themselves americans and have no respect for those very ideas that define america. As for my supposed unappreciation for being in america, oh! if you only knew. Patriotism to me again is about action not just hyper-emotional jingoistic-flag waving. Patriotism is defined as love for country, country is supposed to be more about the people not the physical land,yet i see people who call themselfs patriotic and don't have any care for their fellow citizens (no, i personally don't need uncle sam's help but there're people who legitimately do).

First of all i did not accuse anyone of being a "good ole boy" and i have no reason to believe any of them are. However i do know that the image of them being together looking like "good ole boys" does bring a great deal of comfort to a substantial portion of the american population, those people who believe the hispanics are taking over for instance. Secondly i don't know about you but i do think that it is still a shame that america hasn't had a female or non-white president, not because of a lack of qualified candidates but because people for whatever irrational reason are uncomfortable with the idea.

I knew somebody like you would respond in the way you did. My comment was a cheap shot and it was meant to be taken that way. By the way i know i have stated in the past that i am an african, you seem to have made a lot of assumptions about what i know of america based on that. Since you're curious to know how long i have been in america, i came here at age 5 and am now 24, i know i'll live longer than you do (wanna bet) and by the time we're both dead i would have been an american longer than you.

-->(2) Get some investments going . Save a little money for your old age. Quit being bitter and enjoy. We'll see about that in a decade,see how much return you're going to have on the $50k you invested.How naive of people to think the average person has anything to gain from investing in the stock market.
