In April 2006, a Dutch court ordered that I leave my safe-home that I was renting from the State. The judge concluded that my neighbors had a right to argue that they felt unsafe because of my presence in the building.

I think of Canada, first and foremost, in terms of space. The amount of space available is breathtaking.

If we don't take effective measures now, the Netherlands could be torn between two extreme rights.

The people who believe themselves to be on the left, and who defend the agents of Islam in the name of tolerance and culture, are being rightwing. Not just rightwing. Extreme rightwing. I don't understand how you can be so upset about the Christian right and just ignore the Islamic right. I'm talking about equality.

Men are never really willing to die except for the sake of freedom: therefore they do not believe in dying completely.

States without the death penalty have had consistently lower murder rates. And national murder rates have declined steadily since 1992, despite fewer executions.

Death is a fact of life, no matter where you live. Taking care of the dying is a necessity everywhere. Those are not conditions exclusive to small towns.

With this emergence of big data and social mobility, you will, in fact, see the death of 'average,' Instead, you will see the era of you.
