#2 Jean Raspail, The Camp of The Saints,page 63. Originally published in French as LE CAMP DES SAINTS. Editions Robert Laffont, S.A., 1973

The undersecretary springs to his fee, like a jack-in-the-box, beside himself with glee, "Listen, I have a perfect idea. We put this fleet of nomads under the UN, a blue flag and all, with sailors form Sweden, Ethiopia, and Paraguay to act as observers. The we let their Relief Agency send out helicopters once in a while to feed the people and take care of the ships. And the fleet goes round and round, from ocean to ocean, all over the world, for the next twenty years. That should satisfy everybody. Besides, it's hardly a new idea. Remember Palestine? ...Just one thing: in twenty years there'll be twice as many on board as there are today. What with the heat, and nothing to do... We'll have to build floating camps and attach them to the fleet. Believe me gentlemen, it could go on for a very, very long time! In two generations they won't even know why there's nothing out there but ocean,as far as they can see, or why the deck of a ship is their homeland... That's right, their homeland. Because, in time, they'll even come to feel a kind of national pride. The heat, after all, and nothing else to do... Then they'll ask for independence. They'll damn well demand it.
