Thought I’d make an entry. Its mostly about the US
In the last week, we've seen Christmas Carollers, alligators, owls, ice hockey, a huge ice rink, malls...yadayady. Same ol stuff.
It will be really nice to get back into the real world.
We haven't heard much from anyone lately.
I did hear from an old buddy of mine in Austin, Texas.


He says Dell Computers is moving their Information Technology department overseas because it's cheaper,
so he's going to be out of a job.


I talked to my dad about this country.
Everyone knew what was going to happen when businesses started using other countries for manufacture and technology.
It should have been taxed way back when. I think its too late to rebuild this country.
We used to be an industrial power. I still haven't found out what kind of power we are now.
So, what's left of the great old US when other countries produce everything we need.


- The automobile industry is gone. It's in Mexico and China.

  When I was young, the big push was to join the Union and get a job in factory.
- The technology industry is disappearing. It's headed towards India and Australia.
  When I was in college, computer technology was the push.
- Farming is on its way out, Florida gets most of its produce from Mexico.
  When I was in High School, kids would come in wearing FFA (Future Farmers of America) jackets.
What is backing the US dollar these days?
Probably force, military strength. Kill the foreign business owners when they try to raise prices. Call them terrorists.
10% of the people in Florida were born in foreign countries. 20% barely speak English.
The white race will soon be a minority.
My real question is, what do I do to stay on top of things.


Which direction do I go? Is there a direction? Are the white and black middle and lower class being phased out?
That Indian guy who looked at me like I was some kind of thing in my interview, did I sponsor him in India 30 years ago?
The next thing I'm going to say sounds racist, and I don't like sounding this way.
Why should the middle class Americans pay taxes, when the foreign work force and the people paying them don't.
