Gunnar Laatio was dad's very good friend for life time - dad started studies in Poli 1939 and Gunnar in 1938. For both gentlemen the war interrupted their studies for 5 horrible years... It's totally astonishing to think that in my case it's only a generation since a war halted everybody's life here totally - in my case only a generation ago everything here was in stake.Only a generation ago here and still the idea of war is so very distant to me - how can people keep on fighting in Middle East, Irak, Sri Lanka, Afganistan, Kongo, Sudan, .... when there would be so much more important things to be done in the world, real issues to be solved, things to be build.
After all we are few, all alike and in the middle extreme darkness and coldness of space - we should really be better capable of sticking together ?
