I was referring to Europe, and maybe it's time for you to get back there and help prop you home land up.

I agreed with all of it except the part about Americans not having invented anything. Hmm... don't tell Robert Fulton, Alexander Graham Bell, Thos. Edison, Samuel Morse, Wright Bros, etc etc... but he wasn't really serious there, was he.

It would be more accurate to say 'Americans don't invent anything, anymore'.

Since you can't stay focused on finance and have moved on to immigration , your link show me little more than a big list of third world countries who's lost soul are on the run, why would I weep. In twenty five years in Europe and twenty years in NZ / South east Asia I've known no one who has immigrated to the states, worked there yes (even my friend that runs a big chunk of JPL still holds his NZ passport. I guess what you are trying to say is America attracts the dregs of the 3rd world , and America's dregs are attracted to the third world ?

And he retired to Nova Scotia. Warning, the "rest" of the list actually contains hundreds of names...
