Lou Dobbs doesn't get it
:: or is he pretending for greater popularity

What is going on with our neighbors?

"Like many readers, I fear that the impact of globalization could easily pull us down toward the level of the world's poorer economies rather than pull them up to our currently prosperous level. But my friend Joe Schoendorf, a venture capitalist at Accel Partners, makes a good point. He notes that if you had asked Americans in 1900 how they felt that almost all the farmers would lose their jobs over the coming century, they would have been just as outraged as today's workers are when they think about outsourcing. Yet Americans are still well-fed while only about 2% of the population works in agriculture. And the people of the U.S. found jobs doing other tasks, most of which didn't even exist until recently. It's
at least a mildly reassuring thought."

excerpt from: Rage Against Offshoring Is Very Real, David Kirkpatrick, Feb 18 2004

"If you deprive yourself of outsourcing and your competitors do not, you're putting yourself out of business."

les invasions barbares
:: *kipourax* said it best

I would really like to go see the barbarian invasions. I do like her review though!

"J'essaye encore de comprendre l'engouement pour ce film et décidemment je ne pige pas. C'est un bon film d'acteur mais sans plus. Je ne vois pas ce qu'il y a de si extra-ordinaire dans ce film. Peut-être que nos parents baby-boomers y voient le reflet de leur génération, ou alors ils se prennent à rêver d'être de ce genre de lardons élitistes, mais moi voir des bourgeois universitaire ultra-chiants et complaisants faire les paons devant le reste de la société qui tourne à une toute autre vitesse et dans un tout autre engrenage, ça me donne plutôt envie de péter les pneus de leurs volvos. Arcand va sûrement tout rafler avec ce film, car évidemment c'est la même intelligencia qui encense ce genre de film qui vote pour les remises de prix. Et si il fallait ce film pour enlever les oeillères des matantes de Repentigny qui ne savaient pas qu'il y a des filles de bonne famille qui se piquent à l'héro, c'est qu'elles écoutent décidemment trop Star Académie. Sortez de vos tours d'ivoire et faites face à LA réalité. "
