Come insight, where it is warm and cosy

Countering chapter Tussen vrijheid en veiligheid ( Between freedom and safety) in the book Buiten is het koud en guur by Thomas van der Dunk, (historian), 2004

In the chapter I read 15 times the word vrijheid / freedom
And 17 times the words veiligheid / safety, security and onveiligheid / unsafety
I didn't see the word unfreedom / imprisonment ...

The word freedom is used in two meanings, not twelve unfortunately and not at all in the meaning of freedom as a state of mind. A missed opportunity. Suppose there are twelve meanings of freedom, then Thomas only uses 16,6 % of his language skills to make some points and draw some lines. He does have an excellent face for YouTube exposure, I must admit. A true delight if I may say so. It keeps me smiling through the Christ & MAS days. Yes, you can take that as a compliment, T.

Sorts of safety, security
By T: mobility and trade
Other ten: fire security, burglery, safe sex, verbal security, noise safety, vapour safety, natural disaster securities, armed security, emotional safety, life ensurance.

See you next time...
