the world out there

I have been watching TV again – this is happening about 30 min a week …and I am always surprised at the quality ... or the lack of quality of what is showing. This certainly explains what is going on around us every day.

Now today was again a very important day for Germany. Mr. Schroeder made a speech about the state of the nation. As expected, he talked a lot but said very little. Major changes, which Germany needs so desperately, where not announced. Instead he took too much care about the unions, the guys who block everything, as have not left the 19th. century. It is a unique situation that the Germans had to reelect the Schroeder-government a second time after four years only to find out after 3 month that he and his government team has no clue what to do.
