Competitive Consequences

The Toronto Star revealed in an article about the Pope urging the EU to boost aid in Italy's migrant crisis, that since the start of 2014, almost 200,000 people have been rescued at sea. For those who do make it to Europe safely, there is not much joy waiting for them. They routinely face destitution, violence and racism. One group trekking into Europe on a 'safe' trail along railway lines were hit by a night train killing fourteen people in Macedonia. All this is another direct consequence of a competitive and divided world. John Ayers
