Whatever we, as prospective participants unaware of our specific features, would desire society to be like is what, morally speaking, we ought to institute.

I really do think the things that make our society what it is are under threat. It should be about everyone having the potential to be what they're going to be.

Something is sick with our society that we have to deal with.

It is now such a complex society in terms of media. It just comes at us from every direction. You kind of have to push it all away.

If Americans are reluctant to go on the dole that's because they have a healthy work ethic.

People have an awful lot of problems that society has put on them and a lot to work through because of it.

Society might have been better off without them, but we are supposed to look after the disadvantaged, and so we do it. But it doesn't help the society.

I am sure it must be true that people opt out of the mainstream society because they feel that there are going to be no rewards for them, if they stay.

Society is becoming less and less transparent. People no longer know where decisions that substantially affect their lives are taken, nor by whom, nor how.

I do think there is this danger that our society has made its peace with decline. I'd like to jolt them out of their complacency a little bit.
