But maybe reading comprehension should come first. It's amazing what liberals read into the "new" AZ "illegals" law. The law simply says it is a law of the United States that illegal means _illegal_, and we're going to enforce it. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | The only thing bipartisan in this country is hypocrisy

Since most of those illegals, at least in the US are of a single racial minority, then all the other minorities are scared that they will be targetted next (as they have been in the past) and so are fighting tooth and nail to prevent it! Heaven help us that we expect our law officers to actually enforce the laws equitably! I liked that in a recent Flashforward episode a Japanese working illegally was swept up in a hispanic sweep... ;-) Charlie

Agreed. I heard an article on the (radio) news yesterday about how paid apprenticeships are making a comeback for machinists -- there just aren't enough of them out there right now, and while schools still teach the basics, in many cases they haven't caught up to industry with respect to how much CAD and computer interfaces now play a daily role in most machinist's jobs. Oddly, the article's started with off with something like, "no longer just an unthinking job, machnists have gone high tech." -- Whoever wrote that must not know many machnists, since if they did they'd know that being a good machinst has always required plenty of thinking. > I'm still learning.

My father-in-law was a machinist, AND the most well-read person I've ever known.

[putting up a web site] > Is that something difficult? Not at all -- putting up your own web page falls squarely into that category of "not horribly deep/time-consuming/difficult" "continuous learning" that might have been optional for you, but isn't as much for the current generation -- at least if they want to remain employed. (But I think it's clear you've benefitted from *choosing* to keep learning life-long as well.) > And 70 isn't really old anymore. I see > people 20 years older than me still with their wits. I think most people here are hoping you're around at least that much longer! ---Joel |
