Yep, what you do as 'politicians' when getting afraid of your own 'work'... and what that brings when you 'take care of your citizens'... We already know too well! Isn't it a sad story, or rather a Bad Dream?

Current politics have something in common with the weather. Both are unpredictable and completely chaotic. Even a 10-days forecast may fail while too many complexities are at play. See Europe struggling with its horrendous debts, using 'austerity measures' to -as a result- get economic growth going and bring down the debts or vice versa, hopefully in the next 5 to 8 years... The new idea to create a sort of insurance to 'finance' national debts by leveraging a 'fund' that by itself is nowhere capable of producing the assumed results, shows the incredible proportion of this crisis, exposing the failure of 'the politico-economic system' behind it at the same time. One gambles with non-existent money or alternatively with our own last pennies and cents. We'd better stay ignorant of what 'the elite' does to only save their skins. It's not only 'the banks', let us be aware of that! It's politics in all its aspects and mixtures. What goes on in Greece this hour says it all: it is about a corrupted, old and rusted 'system' of lying and pretending. Nations are organized and run like churches in medieval times, 'professional' politicians behaving like the good-old, bigot clergy, the first 'democratically chosen' for their 'competence'. We now know better. Though sometime soon patience of the well-informed public will reach its tipping point and come to an end. In either case no better world in sight!? Just like the weather forecast for this Winter. It may freeze or it could be warm and wet. Who knows what comes true? Chaos and irrational thinking rules this world. Civilization is collapsing..!

Nigel Farage, independent member of the Euro Parliament and Co-President of the Europe of Freedom and Democracy Group (EFD), is the nail in the coffin of the maoists and communists that (try to) rule Europe. He is the whistle-blower about "hidden features" of the so-called "Euro democracy". The world can learn from what he exposes, I find. I consider this video a historic document on Europe and the stupidity (called 'ignorance') of the people to let this dubious 'cabaret amongst comrades' continue...
Europe is becoming (for some: became) a total nightmare; a largely failed experiment.

"Physical work was once celebrated with hymns of praise. But workers today must be content with encouraging one another that their hard work is better than no work at all." That says a quite well-made documentary from Al Jazeera, dealing with people at work. What work? That interests us in times of growing unemployment. Not the question: why work? Because we have learned to think so. It was Martin Luther who instilled "the Protestant work ethic" in his followers, the idea that work is God's invitation for us to join in his continuing creativity; "to glorify God and to enjoy God forever." Does it? If so, why Jesus Christ didn't work? What job did He have? So the adoration of work comes from something else. For many people life is their work. However a large percentage of workers claim they would continue to work even if they had enough money to live comfortably without working. The concept of satisfaction from doing something comes to mind. Not a well-dressed paycheck, it appears. Is work a means to an end? Or is it meaningful and stimulating? Money, social status and intellectual challenges may be motivating, but so is the 'thank you' from somebody you assisted free of charge to get on his feet. Job satisfaction and the behind much political rhetoric about 'economic growth' hidden, heavily exploited productivity-consumption cycle, appears a major factor; greed, prestige, power. Slavery as work? Should we be 'doing the right thing'? Are we so estranged from Nature that we don't see the relativity of 'work'? Is what you do really important for 'society'? Whose, I wonder? Should we feel 'guilty' when we get unemployed? We face difficult times ahead. Old paradigms are rapidly changing. Can we take care of ourselves when the money-flow stops? For an answer take a look at this...
