      [continued from previous message]              people with a lot of increase done in poor countries, and they       gave few government handouts to persons who were called citizens.              Consider a place called the 'US'. In 1895 Al Jennings had already       had his brother killed in a gunfight with Temple Lea Houston and       he may have still been robbing trains. People from Mexico until       the Mexican Revolution of the 1910s could still easily cross the       border if they wanted to with no interference at all. And ride       back if they wanted to. This is because they were considered to       be better than the Native Americans because they did not shoot       at the settlers like they did. If they found work and someone       was willing to pay, that worked. and if they wanted to ride       back to Mexico afterward that worked also. Because people did       not get vast amounts of payments specifically for being a citizen,       they generally did not care around the entire world because the       nature of economic migration was different.              If you add 16 to 1879 it might have been something like that.               > 5) He then went to university in Zurich in one of the most prestiguos        > universities of the world (still alone).
