Maybe this is my lovely (by definition racist) pride coming up, but I would love to take on someone who has a BS (lord what a dismal acronym...) in Chemical Engineering (so I finally said my major...I'm prepared for the jokes) from India or China in an exam.

I know what I do. I know how to apply what I do. I love what I have learned. Now let's play.

But besides that, I do think protectionism is not a bad idea. Without it, aren't we targets, as the article said, for India and China's masses? Not communism, but free trade just hurts us.

But to be fair, so do Unions. Good news today on that front!

And thank you ghost908. Nice to know someone appreciates my eloquence
