Freedom and Migration--and Ira Berlin

What could be more important than everyone in the world continually journeying toward greater freedom? Well, the natural resource base upon which it all rests. America is no longer a wide-open frontier to be endlessly exploited, as fascinating and worthwhile as it might be to observe and intellectually dissect the process of European Americans, original African Americans, Native Americans and others being demographically displaced by the never-ending "great influx." Scientists, true liberals, true conservatives and just plain common sense tells us there are earthly limits to human consumption. Today everything from fresh water shortages to atmospheric pollution longages demonstrate that we are now hard up against those very limits.--Related to “Migrations Forced and Free,” Ira Berlin, Smithsonian, Feb. 2010.
