(No Ratings Yet)Since our world is becoming smaller with ever more increasing contact between peoples of the world, it is important to remember that we are all human, we all breathe the same air, we all love our children, and we all are mortal. As Jimmy Carter said in his recent acceptance speech for his Nobel Peace […]

(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5)As we mark the six anniversary of the 9/11 attack, it is time for Americans to face the real lessons of that horrible morning.

Posted by Stan as Refugees, Politics, Human Rights, Governance, Economics
(3 votes, average: 4.67 out of 5)There is an argument that you hear that starts with the idea that we Americans must protect ourselves from the citizens of the world.
