I no longer represent any Anglo-Saxon point of view. That was 40 years ago. I DO represent (in my own mind) the Nordic point of view. The Nordic point of view is imperfect, but, I believe, it represents the best of empathic Europe at the moment. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland: the best models imho for the future of Europe as a continent of PEOPLE...

...at peace.

I will never see that - but I am prepared to work toward it.

Finland didn't seem that good a decision in 1974 - but the deeper I've got the more I like it. There's a psychological element, I'm sure - so much of Finland today reminds me of childhood in the Leicestershire countryside.

a psychological element? nah...

funny you say that about childhood, the woods here in italy remind me of the idealised woods i grew up with in england, robin hood, maid marian, and sir lancelot kind.
