The Lisbon treaty only speeds up the inevitable collapse of the EU since it carries no way near the public support that is needed to sustain a union in this form. This is the politicians pet-project. They love the long corridors in Brussels and all their new powers. Politicians thrive in...

I contribute with two old traditional Swedish songs. Both here performed by different university choirs. Many Swedish and Scandinavian songs are about nature or our connection with it, these are no exception. Längtan till landet (Longing for the countryside) This song is sung to welcome the...

Welle:Erdball - Nur tote Frauen sind schön

Around 200GB and 35000 songs. I have never thrown away a song that I have downloaded during the past +10 years.

All of them can be acts of terrorism. But there can also be situations where they are not.
