In a NPR segment on off-shoring ...

one commentator supportive of off-shoring was saying how the off-shoring of jobs made room for us to do what we do best, R&D.

The person doing the story inserted that while that may be true, it still leaves those that off-shoring unemployed.

The commentator was ready for that point ... He said: &quot something to the effect of) So the answer is developing a system of compensation and re-training rather than throwing the baby out with the bath water and demonizing our corporations for off-shoring ..."

Uhhh, Mr. Commentator ...

THEY AREN'T OUR CORPORATIONS!
