Technical means now enable an omnipervasive control society. That gets its way with the rhetoric of "zero risk," terrorizing people and pushing them to accept increasingly insidious restrictions on their freedoms.
The rhetoric of equality by any means carried on in the U.S. is collapsing many centers of excellence. Yet in Italy we still struggle to abandon the tools of “positive discrimination,” such as the policy of “quotas”

The concept of "Europe" is very different from that of "European Union." European civilization is not represented by the EU superstate, which indeed rejects its roots and rather resembles a supranational empire as the Soviet Union was.
The ruling of an English court in the case of little Indi Gregory, whose parents are being deprived of the right to bring her to Italy for a last ditch attempt in treatment, places serious mortgages on the future of the legal civilization of the West.
Using the Gospel as a justification for the invasion from North Africa is misleading. The duty to welcome has precise bounds in tradition and law, which cannot be ignored except through dishonesty.
