yesterday, may 4th, was our annual day of reflection. a day to commemorate those who lost their lives in world war II.
today, may 5th, is a day of celebration. the liberation of our country from german occupation and the official end of the war, 60 years ago.
looking back on the war, sanctimonious politicians tell us in their speeches that it must never happen again and that we shouldn't take peace for granted. the same politicians who decided we should become one of bush's allies in his illegal war in iraq, even though a large majority of the public was against it.

The ability to think and act in a hypocritical manner seems to be a requirement for politicians nowadays.
Een land binnen vallen is in hun ogen blijkbaar een stuk beter dan binnengevallen worden.
i don't have any of their cd's but i believe they are on one of the old video tapes that are collecting dust in another room somewhere.. :p
some footage of their trip to ethiopia, if i remember correctly.
on another note,
Hope you enjoy the day!
Don't worry about politicians. They say what people want to hear and when they are elected they do what they like.
