He will then prove, by more painstaking analysis,...

Re: How to Settle Our Differences
I am afraid that 2019 is not starting very peacefully. I also believe that we need to keep our borders so that we do not lose our cultures and history. Our values are different so we still need to protect our borders. Even the Dalai Lama says that Europe should not lose its identity and that migrants need to return home. I am no longer sure what is right except that humans seem to be de-evolving??
