No chance I guess that they'll go on strike during the second chorus? It's not so bad. That not what I had intended to imply. In fact Mrs aquachimp thinks it's the best one. I kinda prefer Russia's., or Sweden (I think.. it's being a while since I looked at them all) What I was getting at was to so with strike culture and if they (the band) did go on "strike" part ways through would the Greeks still be unable to see it as others elsewhere might? And my line of thinking for that stems from Alexander's info re. how the transport system came to a halt but for providing for demonstrators ... and the news blackout ending when there was something to report... Being quiet ill-informed, ... actually, almost totally ignorant on the matter... I can but imagine and wonder if what Greeks really need are more hobbies. I mean, the personal cost to strike might well outweigh the financial gains and the efforts required might well exceed what would be asked of them at work, so the only real incentive left would be the sense of autonomy it provides, or at least away from the usual source of being told what to do, when and how, which can be a common work/job experience for many people and for which a hobby acts as a release valve. I'd had wished the Greek Eurovision 2002 had gone on strike. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sp94nRuwpo -- ¡Su mensaje fue filtrado! http://www.wschwanke.de/* * * * * * *http://www.fotos-aus-der-luft.de/ * * * * * * * * usenet_20031215 (AT) wschwanke (DOT) de |
