That may be a good thing. You should check out the life and times of a
former U.S.A.A.F bomber pilot named Gary Davis. He wrote a book titled
"My Country is the World" and contributed much to the world for having
done so. I'm a registered World Citizen - passport and all.
I think it is nice that the list is borderless. Someday our world will be
too. No more internecine crap like what we are seeing now with the US and
China.
As for those hostages not being "our" people, I guess that is up to the
individual to decide. They are certainly my people and I care.
Regards,
Jeff
