Paul, unless you never, ever, never buy something at walmart or target, or (fill in the blank of most retailers), then you are part of the problem. cjg

As if it was a nirvana the world economies have reached. Let's be specific about what a global community is in terms of cheese: 1) The "Big Cheeses" (those corporations with the cheese in the first place) want to save their cheese by lowering cheese expenditures or in terms of the story line here - wanting to place less cheese in the cheese stations 2) There are more foreign mice who are willing to accept lesser amounts of cheese for their efforts than their domestic cousins 3) The foreign mice, by charging less then their domestic cousins, provide a way for the Big Cheeses to save money, and attract the Big Cheeses' business 4) There are limits by mouse leaders to how many foreign mice that can become domestic mice 5) There are no limits to how many foreign mice the Big Cheeses can sponsor while working in domestic mazes 6) The Big Cheese spends less to produce their product or service and can charge less to provide it thus attracting more mice to buy their service 7) The mice buying the product or service save their cheese because the cost is lower 8) More mice buying the product save more of their cheese overall than the domestic mouse that was displaced lost, thus enjoying a greater standard of living than even their foreign mice cousins as a whole 9) The story is sad for the displaced domestic mouse 10) Sadder, negative news sells better in mouse newspapers than positive news which is usally not reported anyway, thus the mouse press gains more cheese for printing negative news 11) The mouse leaders get wind of the bad cheese news and force the Big Cheeses to spread cheese around and spread it thinner 12) The end result the Hems and Haws get what the Sniffs and Scurrys worked for 13) One often forgets, the foreign mice here contribute to the domestic economy by living, eating, breathing and taking mortgages here in the US Move on to new cheese at: Contract: computerjobs.com monster.com dice.com Permanent: careerbuilder.com -Paul Chang- --- In [email protected], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > We must remember that this is a global list for a global community.
