Mr. Balkenende (Netherlands) We are capable of sending spaceships to faraway planets in search of life.

They also who dwell in faraway places are afraid at your wonders. You call the morning's dawn and the evening with songs of joy.

Job losses occurred in Mississippi and Louisiana however, they also occurred in faraway Michigan, where layoffs of almost 3,000 auto workers were directly attributed to the hurricanes.

And a month ago, the 23rd of September, I stood on that shore and I looked across to that long, long faraway horizon and I asked myself, do you have it?

For starters, the Mediterranean Sea has been all but abandoned to human smugglers. The Mare Nostrum is gradually becoming the kind of vast and watery mass grave described by a faraway poet.

and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for Yahweh has spoken it.

There is an adaptive logic to being kind to those with whom we continually interact we scratch their backs, they scratch ours. But there is no Darwinian payoff to sacrificing our resources to anonymous strangers, particularly those in faraway lands.

Or perhaps the shock will affect sovereign debt values in faraway places, as happened in 1982. It is striking that no experts public or private really have a firm grip on what could happen if there is another round of difficulties with Greek government debt.

But while the war took the flower of Europe s youth to premature graves, snuffing out the lives of a generation of talented poets, artists, cricketers, and others whose genius bled into the trenches, it also involved soldiers from faraway lands that had little to do with Europe s bitter traditional hatreds.

Abe s interventions at the G 7, and his determination to create a legal framework for a more proactive security strategy, are proof that Japan, at long last, is constructing a foreign policy a Weltpolitik that reflects not only the global weight of its economy, but also the impact of faraway events on its national security.

An individual who didn t distinguish between his or her own child and an unknown child in a faraway land who felt the same love and the same obligation toward both would hardly be human anymore. What has happened, though, is that the distinction between us and them is not as sharp as it used to be.

But young people, born and raised in democratic societies, have increasingly been yielding to the appeal of death dealing groups like the Islamic State, leaving their homes and families to wage jihad in faraway places. Why has democracy lost the allegiance of these restless spirits, and how can it recapture the hearts and minds of others who would follow suit?

But the confidence boosting effect of the earlier real estate boom was far more powerful, because it resonated directly with many more people. This time, in fact, the smartphone tablet story is associated with a sense of foreboding, for the wealth that these devices generate seems to be concentrated among a tiny number of tech entrepreneurs who probably live in a faraway country.

The Internet is transforming the way maps are made, enabling ordinary people dubbed citizen cartographers to work alongside intrepid adventurers and professional geographers. These cartographers whose only common characteristic is Internet access are embracing the opportunity to depict the places that they know and love, whether to help their neighbors get around or to give faraway people a glimpse of their local environments.

Thiel, for his part, refutes the argument often made by robot doomsayers that the impact of artificial intelligence and advanced robotics on the labor force will mirror globalization s impact on advanced country workers. Globalization hurt lower skill workers in places like the United States, as it enabled people from faraway countries to compete for the leg and finger positions in the global division of labor.

PRAGUE As I listened to what some Europeans were saying as my country prepared to take over the presidency of the European Union, I heard dim echoes of Neville Chamberlain s infamous description of Czechoslovakia as a faraway country of which we know little. I suppose that Donald Rumsfeld s misguided bid a few years ago to incite a divide between new and old Europe contributed to the re emergence of that disdainful attitude.
