Your mind is free. No restraints.

They wouldn't experience restraints as we would.

In such a case, restraints in fiscal policy must be brought into play.

It's unclear whether using mechanical restraints is actually saving lives or costing lives.

Every week in the United States, it's been estimated that one to three people die in restraints.

While I was preparing to write my student note for the Yale Law Journal on mechanical restraints,

So as Edmund Burke said, The restraints on men, as well as their liberties, are to be reckoned among their rights.

In fact, until very recently, and I'm sure some people still hold it as a view, that restraints help psychiatric patients feel safe.

I consulted an eminent law professor who was also a psychiatrist, and said surely he would agree that restraints must be degrading, painful and frightening.

Now, of course, after the recent financial crisis, markets woke up quite brutally and did exercise a lot of pressure for each of us to engage in a serious budgetary consolidation.

At times, I spent up to 20 hours in mechanical restraints, arms tied, arms and legs tied down, arms and legs tied down with a net tied tightly across my chest.

Now the role of the markets is there, but I don't think we have to rely basically and mainly on high interest rates for governments to continue the path of sound budgetary and reform policies.

On the other hand, one could also make the case that those countries and those populations like, since a few months, the Italians who definitely are embarking on all the necessary measures of budgetary consolidation and structure reforms, may be disenchanted and not ready to continue on this path unless they do see some recognition of their efforts through, in particular, a decline of interest rates.

Now in fact of course, I hope that there is not a default for Greece, but I'm really confident that even in that case Italy is seen by the markets and by the E.U. institutions and by the global community as a country which, since a few months, has really taken some tough structural measures, both as regards the budgetary consolidation and as regards structural reforms for growth.
