I really wanted to stop blogging about political actualities. There is too much shit happening everyday to keep up with it. Our secretary of defense, Dr. Guttenberg, Mr.Copy and Paste, cheated himself into his academic title and didn´t stop lying about his betrayal until this day. The political class didn´t mind, neither did most of the population.
Berlusconi is still fucking around, the Republicans are continuing their destructive and shameful hate politics, Ghaddafi is killing his people with German weaponry,
the Chinese government has arrested Ai Weiwei, and the end of the nuclear catastrophe in Japan is not in sight.
The political class in Germany is proving its incompetence everyday, it is in deed unbelievable to listen to their mendacious statements, day after day. I have learned the last year, that those in the possession of power are, our leaders and the wealthy ones, are belonging to the untouchable class. We, the ordinary people, have to pay for all the mistakes they make.
So once in a while, I will interrupt my gabbling about photography just to vent air my dismay.
