...

one of the ways to keep violence going is to not problematise it, not to act about it, not to talk about it... to distract from it (free translated from Per Isdahl "the meaning of violence")

Danmark as one of the countries taking part in the irak war doesn't want to give asylum to about 600 irakian refugees waiting here in camps for a better life while sweden said yes to take up about 15000 refugees

Right now theres a big discussion in the media that the minister of culture threatened the public TV channel with an email to be less critical in reporting about the irak war


A country where humaniatian issues are/used to be valued extremely high and so the freedom of press...
to grant asylum to people from irak maybe would be an act of recognising that they didn´t suceed in a way they planned until now, that all of this could be wrong...


there´ve been lots of soap bubbles in the kitchen the last days
and an interesting talk with a gran canarian guy about the african immigration issue at a toga-party
