What does the selling out of America to the highest bidder have to do with Capitalism.

In the long run this immigration bill is not good for America.

If we don't have enough skilled technical employees then I say that is the fault of the colleges and universities.

Hell anyone can go to college now without any restrictions.

Even some of our so-called prestigious universities have lowered their entrance qualifications.


Yale let in a fifth grade educated Taliban.

Convert some of the useless liberal arts schools to science and math and we will not need to be sold down the drain by a bunch of greedy liberal businessmen.

Yours is a common error: taking the world as given. Assume that you are correct, but then ask, what makes those colleges they way they are? Are they not filled and run by American people? Do they not exist on Americans' tuition?

If you think alone these lines you will invariably discover that the enemy is... we ourselves. As I wrote in the previous post, we prefer TV sets to education, we think it is OK to cuss and aware in public and at the dinner table, it's OK to get a divorce on a whim or have no commitment at all. You too look elsewhere for a party at fault --- by G-d, it's certainly not you!

What is the connection? Merely that such people cannot be competitive.
