@2 oh please divers nations, groups tribes in africa, already carved up each other, displaced eath other, and would have hapily carved up europe, too, if they'd've managed it; no race or group is more evil than any other. some just were more powerful.

as to the comment that there's less mobility today, hogwash. really. mudede is just a lefty version of sarah palin, it's a word salad, one day it's we're too globalized, lookit the migrants, sometimes it's horrible, next day he celebrates it, next week we're immobile. fact: the world is more connected and mobile THAN ever, MORe people are not in poverty than ever, more have laptops and cars and phones then ever, and even the ones who're poor and starving know more about the world than ever. really, we have about 1/4 the world now at a decent standard of living. this is dramatic progress and a testament to technology, capitalism, democracy, and trade. now that said, yes of course there's bad things duh ranging from europe's aggression to africa, to china's lack of democracy, etc. etc., american's over throw of guatemanal, DR iran etc etc. but really, on the whole more people live in freedom and relative ....not wealth but relative not starvingness...than EVER before. mudede is just the people magazine of the left, tossing out any old notion for a quick hit anyday with no coherence. here's th coherence: capitalism works, on a gross level, with gross flaws, that need corection or management thru wha'ts loosely called ....govenrment or socialism WHATever, and i mean like germany. and yes, we need more world government to engorce enviro standards and such. but we've been moving over oh about the last TWENTY CENTURIES to more freedom and better standard of living and if you can't see that, you're as blind as the right winger like sarah palin who believe all kinds of nonsense. we are more confined than ever? what the holy fuck, you really think ANY PREVIOUS CENTURY would be preferable? when, the one with adam and eve before they first sinned? this is religion, not politics or philosophy.
