The problem with Eurocrats is that the...Hi Zsuzsa,<br /><br />The problem with Eurocrats is that they don't care that women have to wear armor. If they cared a single damn, something would be done.<br /><br />That communication is being received loud and clear by European citizens, judging by the movement of people into "right wing" populist political parties.<br /><br />But I fear it may actually be worse than that they don't care, here in Canada at least. Judging by the pronouncements of our betters in the Ivory Tower and dizzying heights of the governmental Mandarinate, they may actually be doing this to -punish- the recalcitrant masses. <br /><br />The Secretary of the Writers Union<br /><br />Has leaflets distributed in the Stalinalle<br /><br />Stating that the people<br /><br />Had forfeited the confidence of the government<br /><br />And could win it back only<br /><br />By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier<br /><br />In that case for the government<br /><br />To dissolve the people<br /><br />And elect another? <br /><br />Bertold Brecht 1953<br /><br />Brecht wrote that as a protest against the Communists. Here we are, 65 years later, and the sons of bitches are actually trying to -do- it. "Won't vote for us? Fine, we will flood you out with people who will."<br /><br />This is because Lefties are people who fundamentally misunderstand the nature of civilization. It takes WORK to make a civilization function, and you can -break- it too. Get enough jerkoffs who refuse to work at keeping things civilized, and you get barbarism. See South Africa for today's example.The Phantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159748429049446398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15888307.post-29083715968401293802018-04-02T22:34:44.082-04:002018-04-02T22:34:44.082-04:00This feels like the Maid Marian gag in "Robin...This feels like the Maid Marian gag in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." We're seriously putting women in chastity belts in order to keep them safe in a Western city in the 21st Century?<br /><br />I guess I agree with the woman who says that it's better to stay safe than to loudly proclaim your rights while being attacked, but the fact that women apparently feel the need to wear armor and have "personal" alarm systems ought to suggest to even the Eurocrats that something is rotten in the State of Germany...Zsuzsanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15888307.post-4283165743703443962018-03-31T23:18:26.640-04:002018-03-31T23:18:26.640-04:00I assumed they'd go for some ballistic nylon, ...I assumed they'd go for some ballistic nylon, maybe a bit of kevlar.
