From the Desk of the Blogger

For years we have been hearing about the challenges for freedom in the face of globalism and conflict. This blog will explore the prospects of liberty and democracy in the context of immigration, education, diplomacy, philosophy and ideology among other interests and experiences of mine.

Cheers!

French riots point to race divisions

The issues of "multiculturalism" and "diversity" are important to recognize. However, when does inclusion take too dominant of a role? As John Rawls' "maximin" theory goes, ameliorating the worst off is honorable, but not at the cost of societal strains. France, under the visionary leadership of President Nicolas Sarkozy, is at a pivotal crossroads. It is reminiscent of 1960s America and a look into the future of Western Europe as well as the immigration debate in the US.
