It contains key passages like: <BR/><BR/>"In order to promote good governance and ensure the participation of civil society, the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies shall conduct their work as openly as possible."<BR/><BR/>Now that's revolutionary :)Giustinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756707910693785516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-1147277973125604472006-05-10T19:19:00.000+03:002006-05-10T19:19:00.000+03:00The thing about the Soviet Union, Pekka, is that i...The thing about the Soviet Union, Pekka, is that it doesn't exist. It's a deceased society, suspended in time. It's like the Roman empire. It fell. It left some architecture and infrastructure behind, but that's about it.<BR/><BR/>Europe Day sounds cheesy, but at least its commemorating something that's alive and breathing. The European ideal isn't something you get all emotional about. It's not the kind of thing that makes you want to do something stupid like pick up a gun and go and get yourself killed while singing national songs and losing your individual identity.<BR/><BR/>But it seems sunnier and positive and going places. The Soviet stuff - that reminds me of Doors fans that still haven't gotten over the fact that Jim Morrison died 35 years ago. Yes, they were around. Yes, they did some exciting things. But when the Doors got together for a reunion tour, the drummer sued the keyboardist and it just turned into a beautiful mess.<BR/><BR/>It's better to just let dead things stay dead.Giustinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756707910693785516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13406351.post-1147226868868295682006-05-10T05:07:00.000+03:002006-05-10T05:07:00.000+03:00Call me skin deep if you want, but if I had a choi...Call me skin deep if you want, but if I had a choice (and Ido),rather than watching these old farts fumbling around, I would join you, Saku, pizza, and the girls. The only reason I added the girls on the list is that they obviously use religiously some of the best shampoo products around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
