It was just shocking what we`ve seen on the news in the last days.You might have heared that during the next week end all important presidents of the world and many more “important people” will be coming to Bucharest, where there will take place the International NATO summit. Never mind, what kind of creepy stuff the Bucharest municipality makes in order for the summit to be possible, and that George Bush, Putin and Sarkozy are coming to Romania. Doesn`t impress me.
One thing really made me mad! And that is, that hundreds of people from all around the world, who wanted to protest agains NATO and globalization were not let to enter the country. If you don`t agree with the system and what happens you are not allowed to do anything! Right of speech, reduced to zero.
The media presents this as if they are all killers and Satan worshipers trying to ruin our country.
Hopefully, in the end they will manage to enter the country and protest. I would go and protest there myself.
Guess who`ll recieve an e-mail now from me? My firends from Youth for Human Rights.

I must read up more on the average life profile of these protesters … there always seems to be thousands upon thousands of them in every region of the world, ready to at the drop of a hat demonstrate their fanaticism against anything western: if it’s not the USA, it’s Nato, or Bush, or nice cars, or lack of sufficient state handouts. How is it these demonstrators don’t have day jobs or any type of life commitments? Where does the average protestor end up in, say, 10 years? Have they grown up by then?

well see, that is the problem that all money in such countries are spent by supporting nato summits and other similar events, so no money left for sallaries and creation of work places.
When you are starving it is very difficult to have life commitments, no?
In ten years typical romanian will end up in United States working as cheap workforce for some IT company (like Microsoft).
And one more thing – there are as much state handouts in Romania as nice cars in USA
