This reminds of a story. An American businessman was invited to oversee the construction of a dam in China and make some suggestions. When he saw that the workers were using shovels to do their job, he mentioned that using a earth-moving machine would be much more effective. The government official told him
"yeah, but think of all the jobs that are going to be lost". The businessmna replied: "I was under impression that you are trying to build a dam. If it's jobs you want to create, take away their shovels and give them spoons."
why are you so mean to me Kremmy when I'm trying to be explorative of spaces I'm less secure in my knowledge of? I was asking questions. You called me a Republican??? I'm not going to talk to you anymore.
except for this post. :wink:
Oh come on, I didn't mean to be mean. It was just interesting to see how different minds can work. It would never occur to me to think how the poor tollbooth attendants are hurt by the evil EZ-Pass lobby.

...Or, give them a good education and encourage them to enter the fields were they get to design better earth-moving machines.
Now, that is the rhetoric I have a problem with. We don't need to "give" anybody anything. People who "want" to have an education are able to get it.

Don't make me dig up the compare/contrast research i had to do last year about Youngstown and Akron Ohio. All you need to know is that the city that is re-cooperating better from manufacturing industry job loss is the town that had more active city officials and not less active ones.
