There are plenty of Americans in science relative to the number of jobs. They often go into other fields when they realize the job market in science blows.
Oh the Xenophobic card. Of course the people who claim that there is a shortage of qualified Americans when there obviously aren't just aren't xenophobic at all.
Just because that poster had no clue about the job market today doesn't mean that there aren't a ton of highly qualified Americans who are willing to work for reasonable wages. There's simply no need for all the H1Bs.
Slave labor, they can be forced to work more hours than a US citizen, because if they're fired, they have to go back to India. H1Bs are used to drive down salaries. There's clearly no need for them in this crappy job market.
The only reasonable thing that they did after 9/11 was lock the cockpit doors. Everything else is BS designed to make you think that they're doing something useful.
He was hardly the only one this time. 26 nay votes for cloture, and 28 nay votes on the final bill. There were certainly some more surprising nay votes than Feingold, such as Hillary Clinton.
The problem is that those 42 Senators didn't all vote against the bill. Only 26 voted against cloture, and 28 against the bill. Add another vote if Ted Kennedy had been able to make it. My dream is that some day we will have 41 non batshit crazy Senators who aren't afraid to fillibuster batshit crazy legislation. Probably a pipe dream, I know.
I'm not sure the problem is the lack of a 3rd party. 3rd parties have been around for a while. The problem is the media, which spends too much time on missing white women and not enough time on civil liberties and the economy.
Obama voting yea. Not voting is the same as supporting an fillibuster. Obama really did the wrong thing here. I guess I'll be holding my nose when I vote for him in November.
They don't care. If it's lesser of two evils, evil still wins. And don't try telling me that a 3rd party is going to spring up and solve all of our problems in the near future.
They got their internet deregulation, so they can censor whatever content they want. They're going to get their retroactive immunity from breaking the FISA laws. And now they're going to shut down their competitors. At least they weren't able to buy off Senator Dodd.
Tim Starks of Congressional Quarterly reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) plans to bring the Senate's surveillance bill up for floor debate in mid-November. That's despite the hold that Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) plans to place on the measure....

No one makes $65K a year while they're in school in this economy. You'll be lucky to make that much with a Bachelors.
You can have fun being unemployed.

What's amazing is how little that John D. Rockefeller IV sold out for.
You can in Nevada, but it doesn't make any difference. Even if None of the above actually came in first, the first actual candidate would win.
So all of those Democrats who voted for this are for those poor Big Telecom companies?

You mean that joke institution that appointed Bush President?

Stupidly, the sad thing is everyone is
Sure glad i'm european
Bush is too, that means he can spy on all of your communications with the US.
The man went and lied to the UN about Iraq as part of the propaganda effort to start the war with Iraq. He also had a role in the My Lai coverup.
I guess that open source is strong on the site called Slashdot; the database just got Slashdotted.
In having 2 Texas oil men (Bush & Cheney) running this country.
To prevent stuff like this happening in the US, we need net neutrality.
On the other hand, Grigori Perelman's proof of the Poincare Conjecture was only submitted to the ArXiv, and he actually turned down the Field's Medal.

This does have a damn thing to do with Osama.
Bush started this illegal spying 6 months before he ignored the August 6th, 2001 memo titled Bin Laden determined to Strike in US.

We need to put a lot of pressure on Senator Reid to do the right thing here.....
