Re. Germany, again. Steve- have you been there?
I was 96 in SFO the third time, last year in Amterdam and Paris the second time.
I'm talking about "poor people", you know.
My madame comes from Dresden - you know, the Tommys was very successful with their last "fight" their, and then they was walking through their ruins for 40 years - poor but happy (g).
Take a look at Dresden today - and tell me, which town you know compared to that being in a overall better state.
Walk through the streets at night - why not - compare, what you can get to eat for your $$$ and how you can stay.
Scan the streets if you can detect "slums". There's a lot of destroyed buildings, they have 20% unemployed-rate, there are very different trends dividing young folks in aggressive groups, but NOTHING, and Steve, I mean NOTHING remembers in the state of problems you see in EVERY important US-town.
Germans must learn from new solutions everywhere. Here are discussions about the ways Netherlands, Denmark or GB are going. But nobody - what political colour ever he/she is wearing - honesty thinks that US-relations are something worth to tend up there.
The more we copy "American errors of life", the more the understanding grows that cars, energy-spending, living for work, religion, prudery and war are not good idols for a better living.
Let me add: Gates software-controlled overall-survival by cameras, 1000 tv-channels without content, Mad-Cow-Desease-chains, destroying of ressources, their's a lot weak here - but most items that are weak here came from USA and - thanks God - have not the same crude dimension in Europe than there.
Some people say that SFO was the most "European" town in US. You know it better than every other of us, Steve: Is anything "European" with SFO? (except the warf compared to Paris Disney :)
Wow, Steve, you got it. You brought me up from my small daily problems. Let's keep fighting a bit, h„?
