With Every Death, A World Is Disappearing.

As Long As Being A Stranger And Surrounded By Strangers Was Seen As A Temporary Irritant, A Smallest Departure From The Binding Rules Of Conduct By A Member Of A Minority, Was Taken For A Major Crime Justifying Deportation.

The Task For Sociology Is To Come To The Help Of The Individual. We Have To Be In Service Of Freedom. It Is Something We Have Lost Sight Of.

In The Last Thirty Years We Have Gained Enormous Amount Of Freedom (everywhere, Except Perhaps In Places Like Burma Or North Korea), But We Lost Quite A Large Amount Of Security. Because Of All Sorts Of Reasons, Because Of Globalization Which Stripped The Nation State Of A Large Part Of Its Sovereignty Away, Because Of The Dismantling Of The So-called Welfare State. As A Result, People Feel Simultaneously Much Freer And Much More Insecure.

I Am Not A Prophet; I Cannot Predict What Will Happen.

Security Without Freedom Means Slavery.
