Good morning (after a night of bad reactions to simulated warfare)!
I'm posting this here in the general comments section, not to start a fight, or get a rise out of anyone, but as a thought generator. Maybe appropriate for this just celebrated holiday. Are today's immigrants any different from our ancestors? Escaping religious or political persecution, looking for a better life for their families, some running from the law.....
Why then, does this meme resonate with many of us (including me)? I've personally seen what can go on in a land torn by political nonsense, or economic upheaval. If I was faced with a life like that, would I "stay and fight", or would I seek a solution by a change in geography?
