think REVOLUTION;

for 20 years I wanted the repubicans to take over. Now I have a different dream about taking over the government.

The only way I'll stay in programming is if my small business selling the software I made succeeds. Testing & DeBugging Now!

I've been through two very large learning curves since I started 8 years ago. I was past 35 when I started, didn't even know I was too old. But I got a chance to work on a job where 10 people before me had failed. I was a rookie, but I built that very large database application from scratch for a good sized company that now runs itself on the work I did. Even with that success I've probably spent more time working without pay in learning mode than I have for pay.

My conclusion now is that the market is sick. There's no demand for my labor now despite my accomplishments, if I were to switch to a language and skill more marketable, then I'd be competing with h1b's and the situation wouldn't change much. No way am I going another learning curve for a chance to grovel in this market.

I wonder if George Bush will support my household and the other household I've supported through these years with this very heroic effort I've made to build a programming career. I wonder if George Bush will serve as a reference to help me get my old career revived.

What this h1b policy has done to over a million american men is as terrible and rotten as you can imagine. A society that disrespects and destroys its own men and their families by extension in this manner is a sick society.

We have ways of dealing with people like these republicans who gave us this policy. The republicans don't know it, but their mortal enemies have been created with this policy and these enemies will march until they achieve victory.

THINK REVOLUTION!!!
