I have been watching the 7 and a half hour hearings about the Coast
Guard 110-123 conversion debacle (originally 4/18/07) that C-Span was
running last night. I have it on tape now.

deeply disappointing. things really spun out of control and the
mission of the CG is now compromised...



In a recent NY Times editorial, some guy said he'd attended the graduation
ceremonies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and many of those who'd
earned their phd degrees were clearly foreigners, mostly Asian. He
suggested
it might be a good idea if someone from INS was at these ceremonies to
offer
green cards, before these people take their talents to their home
countries.

Considering the number of engineering errors in this CG debacle.....


yes..i'm an engineer and it's my belief engineering in the US is not a
future oriented career. young engineers will find themselves more and
more in dying industries, forced out of jobs and seeking fewer jobs
over the next 20 years.

no one should go into engineering. it's a dead end in the US.


It's sad but true. I saw the writing on the wall when I graduated from
Purdue in 1993 with a BSME. So I decided to go into dentistry instead.
