    Ask Noam Chomsky. I'm sure I don't know.

    Thank you for bringing to the discussion something I had not even considered Ele! Good job! Of course human imports are essential to our progress. Was that the very first thing you thought of? I'm totally embarrassed that I didn't. I was thinking of commodities/things. I see the error of my ways. Of course if we hadn't imported German scientists we would never have had Hiroshima or Nagasaki would we? Inquiring minds wanna know!  :)

    And we wouldn't have had a space program without a bunch of Nazi scientists. (Werner von Braun comes to mind.)

    I wonder what is unique about the mind of a German scientist that sets them apart from the rest? Think I'll ask that question. Thank you for your reply Ele.
