Kim Berry USENET Posts from 1991In 1991 there was no world wide web. But there were USENET Newsgroups. I worked at QMA on a C application which took about 10 minutes to compile and link. Our PCs where not on the Internet. But some of us were given small black/white terminals that had internet access. (Note the old style "!" as part of the email addresses to explicitly define "hops".)
Opposition to pending NAFTA legislationNAFTA was billed as a win-win which would strengthen Mexico's economy, and thus increase exports as the new wealthy Mexicans purchased American goods and services. Then when Ross Perot came on the scene on the anti-NAFTA "giant sucking sound" of U.S. jobs out of the country due to free trade agreements, I became a strong supporter of Perot. At one point I had used masking tape to write "PEROT" on my car. I recall managers at NEC talking about it - seeing it in the parking lot. They believed that "only the undesirable jobs would leave the country, leaving all the good jobs for Americans.
Advocate for reducing immigrationI called the problem of growing dependence on foreign oil back in 1991, as well as the budget problems that would result from allowing poor, high birth rate immigrants to enter the U.S. I opposed it. To date the U.S. does not have any population policy. Families still get tax credits for an unlimited number of kids, forcing small families to sacrifice to subsidize large families.
