France's Brain Drain (snip)

It’s no wonder that many French scientists are heading for greener pastures outside of France. Their destination of choice is the United States, where a talented researcher can work on the cutting edge of his chosen discipline, have more autonomy and earn three times or more what he could back home. Japan, Canada and Ireland are also popular destinations.

All of this was a problem before the current riots started. As the unrest in France continues to spin out of control, the slow trickle of scientist émigrés promises to turn into a flood, robbing France of people it can least afford to lose.

It would be sad indeed if the homeland of René Descartes, Marie Curie and Louis Pasteur became a scientific backwater. There are still many pockets of excellence in the French scientific establishment, especially in the life sciences. But the handwriting is on the wall. Unless and until France gets a grip on its social problems, it will continue to fall behind its neighbors as well as the United States.

Europe exists in two dimensions. There is the Europe which is terrain...vegetable, animal and mineral. And there is the Europe which is culture and history.

There is a truth to evolution. America has evolved from the history of mankind. This is a Judeo/Christian federation. And it has changed the world. The world hates Him (Yeshua) and it hates us for His sake.

I am not sure how it is to be accomplished, but the world is destined to be a world of goodness or dar al Islam.

I like your tag-line. I'm tired of hearing conservatives referring to the Old Media - as the Mainstream Media. They are far left of Mainstream. Calling them Mainstream is a great compliment that they do not deserve and that we do not wish to bestow.
