LONDON BLASTS
i've just learned that several explosions took place on the
london underground and on one bus.
many casualties and a yet unconfirmed number of dead people
are to bemoaned.
the entire underground service was brought to a standstill.
nobody knows yet if the explosions had been caused by a power surge,
which seems to be not the main cause according to the bombs on the bus
or if this had been a terrorist attack.
i'm quite shaken by this - the area where the explosions took place
is exactly the area where i stayed at last weekend.
i feel very sad for the londoners.
i hope that nothing more will happen...
update: so its clear now. it had been a terrorist attack.
there is even a first statement claiming responsibility for
the bombings on an al quaida related website, still unproven though.
the number of fatalities has not been released yet.
there is nothing i hate more in this world than fanatism in any way.
wether its the uncontrollable hubris of "god's own country"
the usa or the totally blind and anachronistic dschihad mentality
of islamist hardliners or whoever supresses people with single minded
totalitarianism: not good.go away.

hardcore - i´m so glad my girl is here this week and it´s just making me sick to not feel safe anywhere anymore. i guess safety controls will go crazy now. metal detectors in busses and fingerprint tickets for the metro. doomsday...

so please think twice who you vote for.
the only peaceful impact you can have as a single human being (as long as you are lucky enough to live in a democratic country, that is) is your own voice.
if missus merkel feels the urge to buddy-up with mr. scatterbrain bush, DONT LET HER.

yes - very smart nagel.
as long as you can make other people seem stupid by being ironic your world rocks, aight?
i'm just saying what i'm saying - everything else is in your head (which is absolutely fine).
