Perhaps related to the previous post, I am intrigued with Derrida's idea in Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness of cities being places of refuge....independent of states and solely for the purpose of harboring refugees and people in search of asylum. Also, the idea of a stateless person is something that I am quite sure is foreign to the average American mind because it is quite foreign to mine. I am trying to get my mind around it as I think it is an interesting state to be in.
