Migration not infrequently gets a bad press. Negative stereotypes portraying migrants as "stealing our jobs" and "scrounging off the taxpayer" abound in all sections of the media and public opinion. For others, the word "migrant" may evoke images of people at their most vulnerable.

Our strength is borrowed from incredible witnesses like Judy Shepard who live the questions. Gay rights are equal rights, not special rights.

The world has suffered an estimated $15 trillion loss of wealth or almost 35 times the German national budget. Can capitalism learn from its mistakes? If the rules of the game are not fundamentally changed, the world could soon be on the brink of disaster again.

The world has been informed that their main order of business will be to find some way of restraining bankers' pay – rather than concentrating on the infinitely more important question of how to ensure something this horrific never happens again…"
"The core problem over the past few decades was not bankers' greed or the complex financial instruments that enabled them to satisfy it. It was the immense pyramids of debt built up by the Anglo-Saxon half of the world, and the equally massive mountains of savings created in the other.
