God's love for others does not stop at the border; neither should ours.

Certains penseurs qui ne sont pas tous de droite, soutiennent que, lorsque les inégalités économiques ont pour origine des choix judicieux, le talent naturel, l'effort ou le mérite personnel, elles ne sont pas moralement injustifiées.
Ils distinguent les personnes qui sont pauvres parce qu'elles sont victimes de la pure malchance, et celles qui le deviennent en raison de leurs choix de vie défectueux.
D'après eux, les secondes devraient, en toute justice, assumer personnellement les conséquences de leurs choix au lieu d'en faire porter le poids sur la «société».
Bref, ils glorifient la responsabilité individuelle quand ils s'attaquent aux prétendus «assistés».
Cependant, ce sont souvent les mêmes qui, à droite comme à gauche, refusent l'ouverture des frontières et contestent le droit de chacun d'aller s'installer là où les chances d'avoir une vie meilleure sont plus élevées.
Ces prises de position restrictives sont en contradiction totale avec les grands principes avancés pour blâmer les «assistés»: glorification de l'esprit d'initiative et du désir de s'en sortir, insistance sur la responsabilité individuelle dans la situation économique.

Alexa and the other guests, and perhaps even Georgina, all understood the fleeing from war, from the kind of poverty that crushed human souls, but they would not understand the need to escape from the oppressive lethargy of choicelessness. They would not understand why people like him who were raised well fed and watered but mired in dissatisfaction, conditioned from birth to look towards somewhere else, eternally convinced that real lives happened in that somewhere else, were now resolved to do dangerous things, illegal things, so as to leave, none of them starving, or raped, or from burned villages, but merely hungry for for choice and certainty.

Foreign behavior? What the fuck are you talking about? Foreign behavior? Have you read Things Fall Apart? Ifemulu asked, wishing she had not told Ranyinudo about Dike. She was angrier with Ranyinudo than she had ever been, yet she knew that Ranyinudo meant well, and had said what many other Nigerians would say, which was why she had not told anyone else about Dike's suicide attempt since she came back.

I am in between. Trying to write to be understood by those who matter to me, yet also trying to push my mind with ideas beyond the everyday. It is another borderland I inhabit. Not quite here nor there. On good days I feel I am a bridge. On bad days I just feel alone.

it was Greenspan who through some excessive deregulation prepared the monetary ground for the rise of the subprime mortgage companies: a lending market that specialises in high-risk mortgages and loans.
'Innovation', said Greenspan in April 2005, 'has brought about a multitude of new products, such as subprime loans and niche credit programs for immigrants'.
It is almost touching to find out that Greenspan cares so much about immigrants.
