Ya, thats basically what I'm almost for in a sense. I know it sounds dick of me, but in respects to certain jobs, while some people don't want to say it, were better off outsourcing because it means we get the products we like for cheap and at a good quality. Now, if everyone out there is willing to pay a few bucks more for the things they buy at WallMart or Nordstroms or any other place that sells pretty much exlcusively foreign products then thats another story. I just think there are a lot of other aspects then simply keeping the companies from outsourcing in a sense. Sure you could impose fines or fees to countries that do those things and impose higher tarrifs on imports to force companies to keep certain manufacturing jobs within the US, but to be honest, the US has priced itself out of those type of jobs in many fields and now people are having to learn new skills and its kind of an on-going cycle. There should be a better mix between it and there are still plenty of manufacturing jobs within the US and such. I actually think engineers or computer programmers are probably one of the most outsourced jobs because the people in India are very educated and will do the work for a lot less and since its in the tech sector its really easy to have networks that basically connect ya to the US companies. To add to this whole theory, if companies didn't hire illegal immigrants and instead paid legal citizens a buck or two more, you probably wouldn't have near the problem of illegals having jobs while not paying taxes, etc, which goes on now. Or at least many believe it is a problem. I know a lot of people are worried that with a amnesty act, mexican laborers will come to the US and take more of those jobs because they would be willing to work for less then the Union workers or contractors make. Heck, I know quite a few of the democrats amnestie plans call to be much more leniant and long term then Bushes and this would almost create more of a flaw with people losing jobs then outsourcing. So to me I find it funny how they say we need to keep jobs within the US in a sense, yet amnesty would bring and reward people who were illegals with citizenship and they would now take jobs from some of the middle class people because they are willing to work for less. Of course the one difference is, I'm assuming they would for once force the people to pay taxes. Should I mention the fact that the US doesn't ever enforce its illegal immigrant laws. This will get me on another rant about how in California an illegal immigrant can go to school for less then I can, in fact, the state or should I say, we the taxpayers, end up paying for them. All this while the state is continually increasing its education fees for college. They are supposed to go up another 40% next year (This is after a 40% raise this past year). So because of having to fund and pay for so many illegals to go to school, it then forces some legal citizens to no longer be able to afford their tuition (luckily I'm not in this case and while state funding is alright, it doesn't help everyone and I for one think it blows that I have to pay more and others have to actually get forced out of school in a sense) all because people who came here illegally get a free education. I don't know if other states are screwed up like California is on this issue. Anyway, I think I went on a few tangents but, had to get those things off my chest

I'm talking about like an amateur draft so you can draft your future prospects.

On 2nd thought, EA should just hire Soxtalk...we could tell thier programmers so many things that it would be by far the best baseball game ever made...hell, it would really be the Madden of baseball.

All they need to add now is a draft...then it will be super complete. Don't your hire like a scouting department and stuff as well in the game?

And they give me 25 bucks just for signing up. Its deals like that, that usually end up getting me to open a minor account.

They got a damn good coach too, one of the best of all time. As long as the game hasn't passed up gibbs, they should be pretty legit contenders. Then again people say that pretty much every year.

For the win....NOPE I thought it was going to go, but it was just a little short by Jamal. So its going to overtime. Come on Bulls...3 in a row

Crawford misses a 3, but the ball goes out of bounds off the Hornets. The shot clock is now off, so the Bulls should hold for the final shot. 20 seconds or so left.

I know it was supposed to be at 7:30, and since I'm all the way on the left coast I'm left wondering what happened. Were they just introducing Quinn and Jones?

Damn it, Masbhurn drains the 3 to tie the game back up with 32.6 seconds left.

And Jamaal drills the 3. He's got 29 points and the Bulls got a 3 point lead

Just curious to know if it works as good as it sounds. They are paying 2% on savings accounts and I'm in the process of switching up some of my accounts and just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with them. They sound pretty sweet. Well 2% is pretty damn good for just a savings account right now.

Davis nails the jumper and its a tie game.

Brunson steps up and hits two big free throws and its back to a one point game. *DEFENSE* *DEFENSE*

This is complete garbage. And why the hell is Brunson burner out there. At least put Erob in at the 2 and go with a really athletic group and put JC at the 1.

Linton is playing really good though. Has flashed a nice mid range jumper and defensively he's got outstanding potential.

Ya, that was total bs how Hinrich fouled out. Either way I was impressed how Hinrich matched up against one of the quicker and best point guards in the league (Baron Davis). Williams and Brunson are absolutely worthless, yet they get more minutes then Fizer who I think has some upside, although there isn't a chance he'll be on the roster last year. I still can't figure out why Blount, who played pretty damn well, gets cut over someone like JYD who sucks. I know its cause the Bulls don't want to waive JYD and get stuck paying his contract for a few years...but YUK.

Whats even worse is he took a three point shot in the game and he almost always hauls up this ugly ass outside shots. I don't get it, my shot is 5 times better then his. Why he is even considered better then Linton Johnson or Ronald Dupree is beyond me.

If they somehow bring in Tait AND another good tackle, then Gibson shifts into guard with Tucker as the other guard and Edwards, Gandy, and Colombo on the bench. Thats a pretty damn nice OLINE if you ask me. Tait is a freaking pro bowler as a RT.

Notice that this is the 2nd article to mention the Bears are interested in Tait as a right tackle. I'm getting this sneaking suspision that the Bears may still be interested in Ephram Salaam as their lt with Tait as the rt. Or could they be willing to move up to get Gallery and have Tait as their rt? Seems like they want to add two tackles this offseason.

Reggie is like 6'5 and pretty physical. Reports are he may run as fast as 4.4 in the 40, but thats yet to be seen. He's put up absolutely huge numbers at the University of Washington and was pretty much their only weapon. The guy has sick talent and ya, Roy was projected to be as high as a number 1 overall pick. If I recall the Bears wide-receiver coach is from the University of Texas (Which is where Roy went).

Ya Mike is awesome, but unless the Bears move up they won't have a shot at getting him. But Roy/Reggie will likely be there.

Earlier they signed Cornelius something another from the Giants (DT) to a big money contract. Now all reports are that they have finalized a deal with SPrings, although the terms aren't yet disclosed. Another great move for the Skins.

Thats why I want the Bears to get him a weapon like Williams.

I agree with you. After this, I think the Bears will make their calls and contact the next players they like, since they missed out on target #1 (Kearse). There are still quality guys out there and hte Bears can definately get better.
