How are we known? I don’t mean how do we define ourselves, that is another post entirely, but what are the many ways we are known (identified?) by in our relationships? This was a dinner time conversation and we started talking about my sister-in-law Anna and how she couldn’t eat raw carrots. But let’s talk [...]
International Standards II – immigration
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged immigration, International Relations, population dynamics on December 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This is another example of my writing style (or just how randomly tangential my thoughts are). I was writing about how people are the same all over and veer off and start talking about immigration.

There have been many times when I’ve thought about the concept of “buying American”, and/or buying locally made products (local to where ever I happen to be living at the time). Obviously, when I was living in Switzerland I wasn’t confining [...]
