    And this is where the problem lies... most engineers (And IT people for that matter) are too isolated and only want to do their own thing. If they learn how to gang up and form unions and start lobbying you bet a lot of change will come this way.

    Don't know about much in the USA, may be because of the white racism and religious nuts. But I can speak of one case where deregulation actually reduces crime.

    There is a pier not far from where I used to live in northern part of Hong Kong. Every Saturday morning that pier has long lines, with people waiting to ride the hydrofoil to Macau, a gambling town about 90km west of Hong Kong. Before Macau was returned to China (from the Portuguese) in 1999, the gambling industry was controlled by only one company named STDM, and the family behind it has Triad connections. Gun crimes are common place around the turn of the century. Getting a new gambling business open was impossible due to government clout with STDM.

    Since China took over Macau they deregulated the industry by opening up the licensing process and provide incentives for investors to open up resorts and casinos in Macau. A bunch of U.S. company are taking advantage of it, including household names such as Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts and MGM. Murder and gang-related criem dropped significantly since the 21st century begins. Annual double-digit job and GDP growth are being credited to the deregulation of the gambling industry.

  9. People marry early on Brain Scan Can Detect Autism In Infants · · Score: 1

    because there are study that marrying and being pregnant late can increase the chance of autism in the child.

    There are also there are study that people early marry have higher chance of divorce, bankruptcies, home foreclosure, and delinquent children due to not having the proper financial foundation to begin with.

    I don't know much how autism is being treated here in America, but being acquainted with the eastern culture, tiger-mom tactics and oppressive military-style training are quite popular in combating autism in East and South-East Asian countries.

    And that was a problem for the Asian culture. They always blame themselves instead of looking the fault elsewhere when something goes wrong. (i.e. you have been bullied, you must have done or act something wrong).

    Being raised in that kind of attitude and living in America is especially difficult. You will always become the victim due to racial stereotype (look up "sick man of east asia" in Wikipedia). The important thing is proper parental support - assume your kids is ALWAYS right.
