Most of us are "mutts" in the sense that we are made of different cultures, religions and experiences. I doubt very much that there is anyone out there that can say they are pure anything.

We are all immigrants, but of course it's not as simple as that. Like you say, people are territorial by nature. We are always going to fear other people occupying our space and flourishing, sometimes more than we are able.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09405959562090315382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865824470712190718.post-45575501999880822402007-12-14T07:01:00.000-08:002007-12-14T07:01:00.000-08:00Immigrants are very important for any society as t...Immigrants are very important for any society as they do many of the Odd jobs.
