Will they all want to come to the U.S., since we all agree (who choose to live here) that it's the best place to be? Will we find them ALL a place to live, and be happy to let them compete for "OUR" jobs, etc.? After all, Mexico lets people leave and some U.S. people don't like that. Many Soviet people LOVE their land, their heritage, etc. and would rather not leave; would you deny them the few reforms that seem to be beginning to happen? Yes, anyone who WANTS to leave ANY country should be allowed to, but I can't wish increased hardships on entire populations so that they will take some uncontrolled actions towards "real" reforms. And - - USENET is not likely to increase the Soviet standard of living all THAT much, but a U.S. - U.S.S.R. connection could increase our understanding of each other FAR beyond any disadvantages. cc: boris@umoscow.CCCP :-) -- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Paul S.
