I was going through "The Little Schemer" and reached the point where pen & paper wasn't enough. Installed MIT Scheme but quickly got frustrated by Emacs. Tried DrScheme/DrRacket and it was awesome. Highly recommended

At the end it could be read as just another lobby attempt. Using the same statistics, we can say that the majority of H1B visa fraud is committed by Indians, and 100% of the arrested for that kind of fraud are Indians too... that proves any
