To pay or not to pay...

The last months a controversial issue has been placed in the greek daily routine... The question which every one has in mind when he is in front a toll post of the Athens - Thessalonica national road is "am i have to pay or not"?!

This is a matter that the question is much more important than the answer! It is incredible, how this country has become in a point where its citizens do not have an easy answer in a so simple dilemma, if they have to pay or not at the toll posts of the national road...

The attached video, i think it comments this issue in a great humorous way!

Weird and beautiful, as always, Greece! Since the ancient era…

Social unrest or provocation? Not easy to say!

When i first heard about the unstable social situation in Tunisia and the possibility for a "domino effect", which firstly would appear in Egypt, i thought that West was involved in a plan for a widespread social unrest in Magreb and in Near and Middle East region!

The hypothetically scenarios where broadcasted, in the most widely known western mass media soon became true and the unrest hit Egypt and the Mubarak regime! Accidentally? I don't think so! An extra reason that made me careful in the way the facts were commented by western media was the parameter of the role of the new mass media in the protests, in both countries, because the eastern countries have much more power, than all these regimes, in these means of media.

Off course, I’m not a super-fan of conspiracy theory, but also i'm not a politically blind person, too. It is for sure, people who live in these regimes have many problems in their every day life, but is also obvious that specific western countries whether invest in unrest for their own interests, rather for the local people problems and lack of freedom!

If someone analysed carefully the timing and the meaning of Barrack Obama's speech, which took place right after Hosni Mubarack speech, certainly understood that west is not just a viewer. In the opposite, West is a powerful player in this issue. Keep in mind, Mr Obama insisted to Mr Mubarack allowing free communications amid the new media technology, which Mubarrack has dismissed!

In any case, Mr Mubarack, and every leader like him, is not a saint! But, Mr Obama, and every western leader like him, is not too, although, he is a creative and efficient leader for his country and its people. Be aware of powerful Muslim leaders and - at the moment - be aware of the risky - with the life of others – super-powerful "western boys" too!

Do not, ever, forget! In these countries essential problems of the life of the people will remain after the presence of the media! Thus, we ought to carefully analyze these complicate social situations in the international arena and not adopting easily arguments on either side, the moment that we must force the powerful factors acting in order to have people, in these countries and in every country, a “better luck”, a higher level of living!

The right left

To begin my propaganda, I would like to share with you one simple thought of mine. When we say "right" we mean first of all the direction, and also we mean that something is correct and proper. . As a result, the opposite "left" can be used refering to the direction or to chareacterise something as weak or improper. Am I right?

This meaning of right is just a sample for what the English are being criticised for their general cultural and political conservation.

ps. If we say the right left what do we mean? The correct left or the left in the rightest order? Weird things...

We are on air!

Hi Kostas, hi guys, hi honourable audience of Professor Bokos,
