''No political solutions'' it's my last and new cliche to avoid discusions about these because i been repeating the same arguments , listen the same problems and reaching the same solutions in ALL the bars, streets, clubs etcetc in various countries with diferent people, from diferent economic/social/political/ enviroment and i feeling VERY idiot for the time i lost to arrive allways to the same point: we must change our mind and spirit for ''global'' concience. Frank Zappa said the MBE (Master in Bussines Economy) it's the worst and most deplorable thing, one dominant culture (pseudo-culture) can impose over the people. Sorry about these off- topic raged manifesto. Take care about your spirit, health, you friends and your children concience and the m.... f....s automatically will disapear. Stop to work for war directly or undirectly...Good loops! julio Pd Sweden it's a Big weapon seller and gives the Peace Nobel Price.They have 14 nuclear power plants for 8 million people.I think Nobel invents TNT ; ) ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael S.
