Scris de Confucius pe 30 ianuarie 2008
Am primit o leapsa de la Ion Iliescu despre civilitatea in blogosfera. Recunosc ca lipsa acestei civilitati m-a facut sa ezit inainte de a incepe mica aventura personala a scrierii pe un blog din spatiul public. Articolul de la care a plecat domnia sa e un avertisment de comportament in perioada electorala in spatiul virtual. Eu nu as limita aplicabilitatea la campania electorala. Cred ca bunul simt e la el acasa pe blog la fel ca in viata reala. Pentru ca in fond regulile citate de dl Iliescu nu sunt altceva decat reguli de bun-simt si buna-cuviinta. Dar in afara de moderarea comentariilor pe blogul propriu, regulile raman doar cuvinte scrise.
Sau e aici ceva mai mult de atat?

Excedati de nesfarsirea certurilor dintre palate suntem tentati sa constatam numai pagubele imediate pe care incaierarea asta le produce. Din ce in ce mai des ne vine sa ii luam de guler pe cei doi antagonisti si sa le spunem: “Ia iesiti voi doi singuri afara, luati-va la pumni intre voi, racoriti-va si veniti inapoi numai dupa ce v-ati incheiat socotelile!”.
Si totusi… Read the rest of this entry »

In pregatirea campaniilor electorale din 2008 au inceput mai multe demersuri de limpeziri ideologice prin partide, in speranta ca purificarile vor aduce voturile pierdute. Teoria e ca electoratul e dezorientat ca urmare a impuritatilor si neclaritatii ideologice.
Ca elector marunt mi se pare ca e exact pe dos: prea multa puritate ideologica conduce azi la retinere din partea omului de rand. Doar se inlocuieste galceava dintre bande pe sursele de bani cu dezbaterea intre teoreticieni pe constuctii ideologice. In viata mea de zi cu zi nu ma bucura nici una, nici alta. Ba chiar din contra.

The Unraveling of Russia’s Europe Policy
January 22,2008
By Peter Zeihan
Russian President Vladimir Putin and his anointed successor, Dmitri Medvedev, were in Bulgaria on Jan. 17. The point of the trip was to put the crowning touch on a Russian effort to hook Europe into Moscow’s energy orbit. After a touch of bitter rhetoric about how Russia and Bulgaria were “doomed to be partners,” Putin agreed to grant equal rights to the South Stream natural gas pipeline Moscow hopes to lay through Bulgaria. Yet the tension of the meeting and the concessions that Putin had to make simply to get permission are symptomatic of a broad unraveling of Russian foreign policy toward Europe.

Un grec venit in Romania spunea candva: “La noi din 100 de milioane de euro de la stat sau UE, politicienii si prietenii lor fura 5% si de 95% fac treaba. La voi e invers.”
Eh, o fi a gresit omul. Poate ca la ei se fura un pic mai mult de 5% …
