Thanks Ramon. I agree 100%. Just a question: why we Maltese are most of the time passive, being a Maltese gemgem in small groups, and never trying to change at least some small things ? We cannot change MPs overnight (no illusion), but if we never try then we lost the battle already. I prefer to die on the battlefield, trying at least, rather then being at home repeating the same negative attitude..........maybe that's why many countries did protest on the first of May (about working conditions) and Malta was the only nation which did not protest!!!

It's up to us to make our voice meaningful and loud enough to be heard by the local media. We can start as well talking to our friends who work on TV, radio or newspapers.......

One final note: when I was a child I expected my parents to do all the dirty work. As an adult I don't expect anybody to do my work. especially working hard for the principles I believe in.  And I don't count the value of my principles by the amout of response I get. If nobody hears me, then after a self evaluation, I keep trying on and on.  My favourite writer wrote: I was born a fighter and not a loser!

If we do and say nothing at all, we will be giving them the message that we don't really care about these things. If they've got people like Microsoft and others lobbying to get their closed-source solutions into government and nobody saying otherwise, they will go with what Microsoft wants.
