Folks, move on and try a change, the world and even your country is coming to a point where we all need to choose what is relevant for us. Profit for a few or a stable society. Visiting the US twice my life (first in 1990) is was really shocked as I passed the border from Canada in April to visit NYC and Seattle. Visiting 1990 a country where people seems to be happy. The 2011 visit offered a complete different picture. Most of them we saw where angry and in a bit of panic. Running through shopping malls nobody use cash anymore, driving on roads is such bad condition as in East Germany 1980, have a look on houses just 5 minutes away from collapsing, looking on people asking for a buck to get food , I had the feeling that this country was on an really bad way. Biggest problems seem to be that politics is telling everybody that consumption is an indicator for a growing economy, that’s bullshit. If consumption is just done by credit card paying 20% interests to a credit card company it is just an indicator of madness. You can not be a free citizen if you own the system so much money that you are just able to pay the interests , and this just for to have an bigger TV, an fancy car, nice suits and all the other stuff nobody really needs and which have an value of 0 if you paid back in twenty years. Buy Buy Buy is not creating jobs in your country, this is just raising the profits of company’s not producing anymore in your country but somewhere in China, as their shareholders just want more and more and more. There is no need for socialism etc. to avoid the problems you and the rest of the world are now faced with. Just two words needs to be written in any political program, realism and fairness. Do not expect this from any existing political party, create your own one, based on a budget provided by the members and not the industry with people in charge not allowed to be board members of any company. Don’t get in panic if politics and media are telling you that somebody is planning any attacks or whatever. Panic and fear is an easy solution to rule a society. Live is a risk something bad can happen, but that’s not a reason for spending billions on military and to control any aspect of the society. Germany is on a bad way either but we are still twenty years behind you.

It makes more sense coming from a foreigner.
