Speaking of bad analogies ... Writing software for a phone is more akin to modding the Ford -- which DOES void the warranty. Does anybody see the irony here that folks are pissed at Apple for insisting that Apple phone app developers work with Apple? Why don't all these developers just write PalmOS apps? Oh, that's right, because there is no market for them. Damn those guys at Apple for building a spectacular and extensible phone, thus providing me with a viable career as a phone app dev. Damn them for not offering me healthcare. And would it kill them to throw a brother some stock options?!

Permissiveness towards illegal aliens is mostly attributed to bleeding heart liberals and other 'populists'. But the hypocrisy of the conservatives on this issue should not go without notice. For those of you who eat food, recognize that the entire agriculture industry is supported by illegal aliens, whether it be fruit and vegetable picking, or the slaughtering/processing of animals. And we're not talking about family farms here, folks. Massive coporations hire illegals because they can pay them next to nothing and provide no benefits. US citizens occupying the lowest rungs on the economic ladder find these jobs unappealing. The hypocrisy/irony is that the people who are the most adamant about closing the borders and the people/corporations that are most supportive of being able to pay a non-living wage belong to the same party! (The one with the elephant.) If we supported a legit minimum wage with benefits, these jobs would be taken by Americans, the opportunities for illegals would dry up, and they would not come here in the first place. Of course, apples and pork would cost more. So which is it: no longer support companies that hire illegals or shut the fuck up about the Mexican coming across the border to take some crappy ass job that no self-respecting American would take.
