Great job mathias

Let me also jump in to the nerdy Computer Science madness....CompSciDreamer, I hope you enclose your if-else condition in an infinite loop
while(true){
....
}
cuz if we do fail this time, we got to iterate again...keep incrementing the WorkHard counter till it passes...then you can break when it passes

Matias,
You made me extremely proud today. I just wish they'd given you a longer segment, because it seemed like there was much more you wanted to say, but couldn't due to the time constraints. Do you know if CNN will have you back for another interview? Or would be willing to interview any other DREAMies?
Kudos to the host for getting snarky with the FAIR guy. I loved it.
I think they should have let a DREAMie have a go at that fool from FAIR. We know what their arguments are going to be even before they make them since it's the same lame response as always.
The IRA guy was absolutely a mess. He only said one thing that was potentially beneficial: "many of them are honors students".

We need to keep the media blitz going as Mathias did by educating people of what this law does. Thats the only way we can dispell all the false notions out there (for ex. the FIAR guy said we get financial aid). I wonder if we could somehow provoke the Sean Hannitys and Loud Dobbs of this world to interview some of us and ask us about our story then tell us what they think we ought to do. I know that idea is probably far fetched but I've been thinking about it for little while now. Anyways, good job again Mathias..... |
