Helmut Melzer
Mr. and Mrs. Austrians like to sit in front of the TV program, blaspheme the world and what not OTHERS should do about it. We are WORLD CHAMPIONS in fueling expectations of the policy. Crap on the street - where is the community? Educational misery - where is the minister left? My neighbor does not talk to me - where are state integration courses? We regularly think that the state is failing us with important issues.
What if we solve our problems ourselves? What if we make integration, education and the environment a little better ourselves - get involved! "Do not ask what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country," John F. Kennedy once said. Initiative is required! The state can not replace this. Just as engagement can not replace the state. One as well is in demand. This would lead to better policies! If this would finally understand that and promote the commitment of the citizens! But now I am calling for "more state".
