NIce thought, but most folks can only afford to invest in
Wall street via mutual funds and such deals where the vested interests
already have control, because average folks only
see one figure of importance, and that's the one the
investment counselors tout.  That is return on your dollar.

What we need is a 180 degree shift in thinking from these
folks, and that's not gonna happen any time soon.

Btw I'm hearing that a number of the illegals are heading
home.  MOney's tight, times are hard, jobs are scarce.  A
friend of mine lives near a meat packing plant in Iowa says
that as they laid off the foreigners by and large went
first, and many are heading for home as fast as they can get there.

Regards,
           Richard
