I have a friend who loves history and loves talking about it....Great leaders, migration of different tribes/peoples, war, world supremacy (Not sure if he knows about the 911 SC faction
). In any case, he's been reciting the exact same stuff quoted above for quite a while now. Lately he's been saying that we need to grow our population as quickly as possible, therefore he's pro immigration. He's also for outsourcing certain jobs to other countries....."give the now menial development jobs out to others and focus on innovation and managing".
Obviously these are not popular viewpoints but it does make sense and he's a really interesting person to converse with.
BTW, he thinks Bush is dead on for long term survival.
