A long article, which does nothing but complicate and rather simple and binary concept.

Capitalism isn't just a liberal notion. It is the way this world works - it's not my favorite economic model, but I don't see it changing anytime soon. The fact that people move for economic reasons is not always in the sense of economic migrants. People with degrees in specific fields have to go where employment exists for their fields of expertise. They often chose those fields knowing they would have to move to where the work is. Of course there are the true economic migrants, leaving 2nd and 3rd world countries in favor of 1'st world opportunities. However, so long as the business of the 1st world is taking advantage of the depressed economies and corruption of the 2nd and 3rd world, you will have economic migration. It's just a fact. You have to live in an impenetrable jungle or on the side of a mountain to escape that reality.

Capitalism (i.e. market society and consumerism) is definitely a liberal phenomenon and "the world", as you say, was made to work that way. This wasn't inevitable and it wasn't an accident. If you feel defeated by it you will be. Not much I can say about that.

Millions of people have been uprooted all over the globe. They far outnumber the professionals you refer to. I know you hold this "citizen of the world" concept dear but it's just not the reality of economic migration. As for the changes wrought by the global market if you're happy with them then own them. I don't want to hear about exploitation and so forth from anyone who largely accepts it. With all due respect, I sense a certain duplicity on your part...

I have to wonder.....how would people have reacted if the black Christians in SC made a statement like this? Can't have it both ways......really?

Suppostion doesnt justify this polwatch as it wouldnt if it were someone else. The point is the media purposely mischaracterizes to whatever the flavor of the day is

Admitting that this is the current state of affairs and accepting it are two different things, however there is little that I can do about it, other than not voting for the people who promote it. However the world has become too small for the world of yore where you have contained cultures and static populations. Population pressures are also causing migration. The more people that you have on the planet, the more they will migrate, for whatever reason. The fact that I am not a xenophobe really has nothing to do with it. It's not duplicity, it's realism.
