Reply #215: I'm sorry, but saying that fairness dictates that your profession be treated like everyone else

[Romulox]

is not disrespect.

"'I' post H-1B threads and do not 'whine or gnash my teeth.'"

Actually, you've attacked me personally several times for pointing out that blue collar workers are subject to "competition" with third world workers, and that fairness dictates we all play by the same rules. :shrug:

"You were asked how you support U.S. IT workers and will NOT answer. Why? "

Actually, I did respond. DU doesn't take place in real time.

"It seems as though you want my support, but don't want to give any support back."

I'm a white collar worker too. I don't "want your support"--I want a change in US economic policy.

"I want unity for all U.S. citizens losing their jobs. I get the impression that you're trying to drive a wedge between the two groups, which is sad and unfortunate."

I want that too, but it doesn't exist now, nor has it ever existed. (Please search out DU's Big 3 bailout threads for an example of lack of such unity, even among so-called "progressives".) If you study the history of Labor in this country, you will find that *I* am not the source of that wedge!
