Just the idea that my job isn't expendable), and as a result of all the worker class being left in droves because it simply doesn't pay enough or isn't secure enough to make a living. Which is fine, if it didn't leave a big hole that needs to be filled, and which immigrates are most likely to fill. Even though I'd much rather take our lumps that come with the self-deportation that will follow when we get tough on immigration (which is happening now at the state/city level since Congress is so useless), instead of depending on a workforce for the backbone of our country that is from other countries. I suppose that was all in our best interest, so I'll have to offer a non-thank you for leaving us "younguns" with the bag.

Speedyer,
I guess you missed my emoticon. I should have used one of the silly little smilie things. You are correct in what you say, but now it's going to be your turn. You seemed to be well informed and that gives me great hope in your generation. Stay true to your ideals and beliefs.
