The quality of life is the product of what I make specifically for me and my community within the social scheme. I do not believe that our immigration rules and regulations will affect that one bit(with or without aliens).
what i am saying is that what we do socially affects the quality of life. Walls and borders are built out of fear, not an intelligent foundation for a decision.
i find it very ironic that a practical joker can close down our government with a can of talcum powder. simply spread a little here and there on mail and everyone runs for cover.
we have become a paranoid nation. this is what i want to avoid. the more we fear, the more our lives become regulated. we want to be safe on our streets so we will install TV cameras to record activities in high traffic areas. i know, if i ain't doing anything wrong why worry. i don't, but like censorship, where will it stop?
poor social mores can only be corrected with education and guidance; it can't be legislated. this may seem slower, but in the long run it will have staying power. Walls, borders, occupations, wars are a perpetuation of what hasn't worked before. Look, northern ireland hasn't solved anything because the two sides are polorized; nor have isreal and palestine.
it is time for progressive thinking-outside the traditional box- not liberal, progressive. ghandi did more for his followers than any leader of recent history. why can't we use his methods as a model for our thinking??
think and act positive and the outcome has better odds of being successful. negative actions breed poor results.
peace,
