A country you can hate and love, yes it exists ...Belgium. The only democracy where the minority always gets their way over the majority. A democracy that is no democracy, it is just a bunch of so called political parties who try to get a majority (whatever politcal program they represent, they all forget about that immediately after the elections) and to get as soon as possible into position to exercise the power associated with this position, fill their pockets with tax money while doing nothing usefull in the mean time. Voting again a number of useless laws that again put extra useless rules on the community that serve no purpose at all. A country where you can ignore the constitution when it doesn't fit your needs, a country where you can become a mayor even when you totally disrespect all legal ground rules. A country where the tax payers not only pay for a King, but also his successor and the rest of the complete family,... maybe I should ask some tax money for all my relatives as well ? .... I could go on for ever !
Yes, it is Belgium!
Time to stop this artificial country ...NOW!! Time to start building on a new society in Flandres, Wallonia and Brussels. Time to stop this 19th century artificial country to act as a buffer between France, Germany and the Netherlands. Time to gain our own identity ! Time for a real republic.

Religion, Opium for the people ?
It seems that we just can not learn from history (or maybe we do ...only the part of history that suits our needs ?)
Reading the news from all over the world, I get the impression we are back to the middle ages, the clash of the religions ? Shall we go back to the crusades ? Or shall we declare Holy war ? What is happening to the enlightenment of humanity .... If you look closely at whatever religion, they do not preach violence, or hate nor do they preach about intolerance ! And still, we seem to end up in some kind of religious wars again ? Why ??
I have to admit that Karl Marx's statement that "Religion is the opium of the people" gets a whole new meaning, who are we fooling today ? Looking back in history,some of the biggest crimes against humanity were always committed in the name of .... ? I let you complete your history lessons.
My call today to humanity is : "When you believe in whatever God, Allah, .... try to read carefully about the true meaning of your religion .... it is a message of love and not about hate ! Do not trust those who are trying to use your religion for other purposes, remember Karl Marx's !
I hope I did not offend anyone, no such intention was there. I tried just to make sure that we all can enjoy 2011 ;-)
