I don't like being watched. I hate punch cards and flex time.  I'm allergic to cross-referenced lists.  I detest passport control and birth certificates.  Obligatory school attendance, mandatory disclosure of information, legally required financial support, legal liability, oaths of confidentiality - the whole rotten monstrosity of government controls and demands that fall on your head when you come to Denmark.

When I was five years old, the world was incomprehensible.  When I was thirteen, it seemed to me much smaller, much dirtier, and depressingly predictable.  Today it still seems muddled, but once again - although in a different way - as complex as when I was a child.  With age I have voluntarily chosen certain limitations.  I don't have the energy to start over again.  To learn new skills or fight my own personality or figure out diesel engines.
