But one question. Why did you put the word people in "quotes?" Just curious.

Because I wanted to put some emphasis that they are people above all; something I feel is often overlooked as debaters explore philosophical differences. Cosmopolitans and hardliners alike tend to change their tone when they talk about Peggy Sue, LaShonda, or ... Juanita. However, in general, discussions seem to relate monolithic and faceless blocks of world citizens, and not families and individuals.
I apologize if my quotations might have been construed as a derogatory comment.
