Something that seems to be a very interesting issue here is the concept of place, and what that means in terms of civil liberties. Common sense would suggest that the bill of rights was intended for citizens of this country, regardless of their location, or the space in which they act. They are all arenas of human activity, and that was the spirit of the bill of rights. My experience is working to end global hunger and poverty, through a grass-roots lobby called Results. Some people draw the line around themselves.
Some people draw the line around their family.
Some people draw the line around their city or their nation. So, if you feel the government should work on a single issue globally, you really have to deal with the domestic and the foreign office that does it. I met with Representative Jim McDermott today to get some Congressional support for some constructive children's health and education programs. What appeals to me about the international CPSR is the work on the information-poor. To me, the access to information is a generalization of the fundamental human right to an education.
