Quote of the day

We don’t really have a quote of the day, but I have one today anyway.  Wrap your mind around the fact that the world’s economy is struggling and then consider this (referring to the Rohingya boat men story we have been following).  From AP:

“It is a horrible humanitarian crisis unfolding, the fairly large numbers of people leaving in these boats, either drowning at sea or finding themselves in exploitative, abuse situations on arrival,” said Chris Lom, a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration.

[….]

“The issue of people in poor countries trying to reach richer ones is not going to stop,” he said. “It’s going to become more serious and it needs to be addressed, not just regionally, but globally.”

Address it?  How?  I would say we are ‘on the horns of a dilemma.’
