but they do, for the select few. It's the average joe, the guy who
has no influence whatsoever, who gets shafted. Remember why your
own ancestors moved here in the first place; ok, may be not to get
their flight training, :-) but this is just symptomatic of how the
little guy is often left with no other choice but to seek whatever
he's seeking elsewhere if he was not lucky enough to be born in the
'right' place in the social hierarchy (why didn't your ancestors just
stay wherever they were and changed whatever made them leave?); and
the USA used to be pretty neat for that, that's actually what made
this nation what it is today... but this is getting way out of the
topic of this newsgroup :-)
