Forgot this bit. This is one of the main reasons how a no-border society
could eliminate terrorism. There would be nobody to blame for problems with
society except ourselves without borders.

Exitentialism. 

We are to blame for everything. Take the fault. Examine your actions. No
repentance possible except the repentance of future action. Learn from our
own mistakes.

I'm prob. preaching to the choir. To people that have "been down that road".
This damned assault has gotten me depressed. The last terrorist attack I
heard about got me depressed. The next one will, too.
