Neil,

I agree with you totally, except that I am going to take a serious political stand against any American company outsourcing software overseas.

So, I don't want their software or their source code.

I'm starting to get fed up with Communists like Tom Dashal, Howard Dean and the "so-called" democrats who want this country to fail so it can become 100% Socialized. That's why they won't do anything about job creation.

It's about time that the teachies of the world stopped being fooled by the rhetoric coming down the so-called "liberal" pipeline.

People who built this city like Ross Perot and the gang at Texas Instruments were democrats, but they were conservatives. The only was to take a conservative stand these days is to be a republican. I didn't grow up that way, but at least I understand what it means to conserve jobs.

Lots of Linux, UNIX and Microsoft guys have lost their jobs and we want them back. So, we need to boycott companies that sponsor H1B's and outsource software overseas.

I've been on the hiring side of the H1B's and it's all about getting people for $25 a hour instead of $65. Well, I know a bunch of people who would be very happy with $15 an hour if they could work.

Anyone supporting overseas development needs to know that they might just get their economic asses kicked. I'm not the only one with this view.
