2. Your daughter is sixteen. She WILL see the world, do a lot of thinking and, my guess, change her mind.

Yes, I admitted that for the sake of "full disclosure," and I sincerely hope that it's "only a phase." But I've examined some of the "youth magazines" she's brought home from school (you know - the ones provided by the school, itself) claiming, e.g., that 20% of all Syrian refugees have "degrees from institutes of higher learning" or "comparable qualifications."

The simple truth is that it doesn't "cost" anything for young folk to make compassionate statements and thus seem (at least in their own minds) "superior" to their elders.

3. My guess is that the American Embassy will be INUNDATED with asylum requests....OR those folks will enter Mexico/Canada and cross into the the U.S.A. illegaly and then get financial aid IMMEDIATELY, if not sooner.

"Those folks?" You mean Syrians and other M.E. types... or Germans? Because my German colleagues are already starting to joke about "escaping" to the States.

1. The Syrians who escape aren't the wealthy or educated. They are those who WOULD wash the dishes and clean the toilets. The wealthy ALWAYS have a PLAN B.

2. Lol. SO true. You know your teenagers.

3. The Germans are WILLKOMMEN IN AMERIKA!
I read once that 60% of Americans have SOME German heritage. I do myself.
