Offshroing makes us all victims of discrimination.

I don't care if the peson is white, black, pink, or green with bright orange polka dots. Male or female or even smizmar. It makes no difference for we are all Americans, the one-time greatest nation on Earth.

By selling out our own country's people like they are doing, it hurts us as a soverign nation, as a nation that otherwise wants to be isolationist (nice dichotomy going on here), a nation that doesn't care if the middle class gets wiped out and the GLOBAL economy along with it... indeed, having recently heard that we're now bringing in foreign people and giving them free English lessons, I could only wonder what would happen if jobs remained in this country and given to people who have work ethics and were born here in the first place (and I'm hoping that's still a lot of us. I have a tremendous work ethic but seeing what I have been in our 'society' hasn't helped my morale a darn bit.)

Why do I care anymore? The powerful will do what they want, when they want, for the sake of their own short term profits. Heck, even our tax dollars go to government subsidies for giant corporations anyway while social programs for the genuinely needy get cut. Even the Bible has more harsh things to say of the greedy than it does the poor or even homosexuals. But then, it's easy to hunt and pic certain verses we prefer and throw the rest out with the bath water...

And our country is eventually going to have to pay the piper because of it. They are rotting their/our infrastructure yet they still think their currency will remain at the same value?

Note to anyone looking into IT: Learn Indian or Chinese first and then acclimate yourself to higher temperatures and humidity. You might have a chance long-term.
