That's not really the point. The designs, the quality controls, and the production processes all come from Japan, with the idea that any similarly skilled labourer will be able to use them to produce a car with the desired level of quality.
It's not like the US workers are bringing highly specialized skills. Basing the plants in the US saves money on shipping, brings tax breaks, and is good for PR
"I'm not that strong physically,"
Go to the gym
There are also a lot of safer ways to pay your way through college.
As for protecting freedoms. Wars at the moment are being fought to distract people from the fact that peoples freedoms are being taken away.
You need to help define a Niche to market your programming skills. Doing a commerce degree or a Biological sciences degree would help you to get into a more specialized field.
You don't need to get this training from a university, a two-year diploma would be enough.
It makes a whole lot of sense for travellers. If you're on a long trip (4+ months) it would be nice to be able to update your iPod along the way. Phone booths might not be the ideal place for it, but I think that this idea definitely does have a market.
Why is everyone trying to relate this to free trade. This is not free trade, nor should it be assumed to mimic free trade. It is globalization. It has been done in manufacturing for quite some time, the only catch there is that you need to pay to ship the raw material and the finished products. With software/call center/support outsourcing the overhead is a lot lower so it is a lot more attractive.
It is very easy to blame India and call them protectionist, but the softwood lumber dispute with canada is one of many examples of the US being protectionist to save itself. And even if India freely gave out visas, I doubt you would see many programmers rushing over to fill those $20,000 jobs.
Jobs that can be done cheaper elsewhere will always be done elsewhere, it's simple economics. What people in the US need to do is to find Niche markets to apply their skills (or learn the skills necessary to take advantage of these markets).
Yes, why should anyone fly and leave their country. It's not like a lack of knowledge of the outside world has put the US in the position it is in today.

I'm not sure why the dutch airline would be affected by this, though SAS may be.
Anyone else see the irony of having the drupal equipment pics hosted on a plone site?
How is it a free market? I have no freedom to decide which text I'll use for my calculus course, I have to use the text that the prof chooses.
When I was in the UK I entered my 4-digit pin when I used my debit card but when I used my credit card I still only had to sign.

The top 5 in math was Finland, Korea, Netherlands, Japan, and Canada. The next two countries were also from the europe (Belgium, Switzerland).
Highly homogenous? Have you ever been to Canada? Canada was at the top of the lists and it has a very high proportion of immigrants.

What does DWI mean anyways. DUI I understand but DWI??
