On my last post, where I refered to the important things happening lately I really forgot something major, the elections for the U.S. president!

As a typical Hellene (Greek) I’ve never appreciated enough the Americans but each time they get worse. Ah! Excuse me! Maybe I should make clear few things about the first statement about the typical Hellenes. Well, there is the picture (especially by the U.S. point of view) that Hellenes are anti – Americans and some (not to say all) of them even terrorists*, enemies of their wonderful state and nation. I can’t deny that there is a negative opinion about them around here but how could it be different? After all we may all blame them directly for a significant number of important wars that made our lives worse. On the other hand, there is also a strong Americans – fan lobby and both anti – American and American fans have a strong belief that Hellas (Greece) and its nations are turning into American clones! (Still hope dies last, so let’s hope that we may avoid such a humiliating catastrophe!)

Anyway, let me get back to the point. In few days, (13/11/04) Americans are going to vote for their new President. It is more than obvious that Bush shouldn’t be re-elected for the goof of mankind and the dignity of the American nation. Isn’t this obvious and sensible enough?

Apparently not according to the American sense of the non – existing minds! Not only less than the half American vote, not only do they not care about «this kind of things» but the still intent to vote for Bush once more!!! Could you please explain to me how this is possible???

I really find the situation of their nation at least critical, since they can’t see how lethal their ignorance combined with their denial to see, think or participate. They are the absolute nation of stupid, unidentified, sleeping creatures all over the universe. I guess I don’t need to make any reference to the big idea the have for themselves as the superior rulers of this poor world.

If you think I exaggerate just take a look at the news, less than 5 days before the elections! At Google News for a example just few minutes ago, I had to look a lot to find only one (!!!) relevant story and of course it wasn’t a top story! In Hellas we may not claim ourselves to be rulers of the planet, we may not hope that our Prime Minister will change the world, we may complain that we have started getting tired by this kind of things don’t care enough any more, but still elections are always the top story for months before their scheduled date and we consider a great shame when only 65% votes (usually in less important elections).

If a small country that it’s far smaller than New York takes its local elections that seriously, shouldn’t «the masters of the world» at least think of theirs twice? How an unimportant, Hellenic, «terroristic element», like me, could take more care about their democratic procedures than they do???

I can see but one hope from now on:

«May God bless America!!!»

*A few years ago, when Madelyn Albright was the minister of the Foreign Office, there was an official U.S. report placing Hellas (Greece) to the second place of the most dangerous countries concerning terrorism, just after Colombia. Few things have changed since then of course…
