PRODUCING IN PARIS

<< FRANCE 24 | In the political spectrum | JUST A LITTLE BIT OF FUN >>

In the political spectrum | 12 décembre 2006

So yes...Soon there will be presidential elections in France. Not
that I have had alot of time to think about it. Even when I'm not at
work my head is still satured by international news, Pinochet, Iran
with its Conference to prove the holocaust didn't happen, Karzai, the
afghan president crying for his people and Annan supposedly very
"tough" on the United states - in a speech that was only just..
well..very diplomatic. There are still so many things we are not
saying out loud.

And as I watched the Unconvienent truth - that has some interesting figures
but unfortunatetly isn't a very gripping film and read about imperial
ambitions, I stopped at this paragraph:

"It's fine to get a better or maybe a less worse candidate in, but that's the
beginning, not the end. If you end there, you might as well not vote.
Unless you develop an ongoing, living demcratic culture that can compel
the candidates, they're not going to do the things you voted for.
Pushing a button and then going home is not going to change anything."
Noam Chomsky 12th of february 2004

How true that is. I know this is no major discovery but however..
There are so many things going wrong. And none of the people "available"
to choose from in France's presidential elections are really going to do much
about it. Unless they feel compelled to...by their citizens. Well, at least in France,
compered to other contries I know well, people voice their discontentment

Not that I want to change the world, I just want to stop pretending.
