"2"



Last night I attended a dance theater act called “2” by Dimitris Papaioannou, the guy who was responsible for the opening ceremony of the 2004 Olympics in Athens. The man is a genius; the act describes the need of the man to find a partner to become 2. It’s simply brilliant, the chorography so inspired and dreamful and at the same time so emotional. Congratulations!

Global religion?

The picture of the Pope together with the Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew raising hands tight is at least frightening. I don’t know what it means to other people but to me it shows that a probable union of the different Christian dogmas is going to happen and of course they are forced to do so from the International Capital. The strengthen of a unique Christian religion – especially now that the orthodox Russians have come out after communism – is going to be used as a manner of manipulating people in certain directions as the rulers of the world would demand. Something similar to what is happening with Bush and the evangelists in the USA. It’s scary where the world it may lead.

Dutch Socialists



Great victory for the Socialist Party in the Dutch General Election where it over-doubled its seats to the parliament from 9 to 26 and it has become the third biggest party after the Christian-democrats and the Labours. Having both lost much of their power it means that the Dutch voters have moved to the left. Trying to connect the left votes with the disapproval of the European Constitution through the referendum that took place about a couple of years ago, we ‘ll realize the need of the people for a more social-caring constitution. A need that the EU authorities should take into account while preparing the next form of the Constitution, that is to apply to the needs of the people and not serving the capital.

Lessen the work before it's too late!



At the top of a list of the Eurobarometer were found the greeks among the employees whose work affects their personal health most, although it does not exactly fit the image that people have about them. It may sound strange but it’s true nowadays.
The point is that we should not damage our health in favour of the firms and the companies. We must realize that we have to put a huge STOP to the demands of our work and the responsibilities must have a limit. Not anyone will really care about us but ourselves. We have to think about it before it’s too late…

Religions of hate



Elton John is absolutely right. All religions instead of doing the job of spreading words of love among the people, in fact they create a group of religious people that follow not the path of goodness, peace and love but the orders of the head of the church, which is a human speech full of hate among the “others” with the sole purpose to make people obey to the rules that the authority commands.

Women domination



Segolene Royal seems to become the first woman president of France. Together with Angela Merkel who became the first woman German Chancellor, the two women will be the real leaders of the EU. If we add Hillary Clinton to this puzzle, we‘ll have a women domination – never forget Michelle Bachelet from Chile! Although this scheme looks a little strange the truth is that the world can’t get worse – or maybe can it? A giant role plays the ideological background of each woman. History has proved that the conservative women politicians are stricter than men – remember Margaret Thatcher? – but the socialist-progressive ones tend to be more radical. So, I think that they really worth a chance (though I’d rather prefer Barack Obama, I’m not quite sure yet!)
