Re: If you were paying attention you would know (none / 1)

Unfortunately, that only proves that 800 people who have only had a hammer for 38 years, would rather have a nail than learn to use a screwdriver.

Neither the government, nor the industry, nor them have planned or adapted to the reality of "change". That is not about democracy.

Re: If you were paying attention you would know (none / 1)

How about the mining comarcas of Asturias? (10 thousand miners, maybe 100 thousand people dependent on mining) When they demand that their industry be subsidised, is that democracy? It is hammers and nails? Is it powerless people being fed by an industrial juggernaut and who have forgotten how to be free?

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?

Re: If you were paying attention you would know (none / 1)

Yes, there are thousands of cases of industry that does no future context-planning and enslaves millions of people into dead-end lives. Sadly, the "victims" also have a responsability for allowing it by sticking their heads in the sand. They did not forget, they never bothered to learn the duties of being free and democratic.

Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.
