Hi Marc, Ruth and other active Netbehaviourists: I wonder if this ongoing conversation is or will be kept indepentely from our living situation or are we only able to communicate because we live in the so called First World and enjoy cheap computers and huge broadband. I am myself seriously planning to go back to live in Uruguay, the country where I was born in and a place where I has not lived in the last 32 years. As many maybe know I spent four years in jail for political reasons when I was very young and I was deported to Sweden, where I been living since then. Funny, the other day I participated in a meeting for writers (I am a writer) in Stavanger, Norway, together with one of the injust jailed Maguire 6, http://www.shahrazadeu.org/nb/content/kapittel-forgiveness-and-memory and we discussed the common memories we shared, as writers being former political prisoners. I am tired of Sweden (160000 voters voted for a party of extrem right which discourse is "we want get Sweden back". back to the 50:s, to an homogenius monocultural backyard country, tired of seeing some tendences in the whole Europe, France, Italy, Spain, Danmark, Finland, Norway, Germany. Yes, we have small pockets of resistance and struggle, but the social ,movements seems for now being in frank recess. What do you think, do we have a chance to revert this sad process?
If not, I wish you welcome to Uruguay, where the voters have elected a man who spent 13 years in jail for political reasons. And he is the only president in the world driving a Volkswagen from the 70:s and still living in the small farm outside Montevideo where he and his wife (former jail comrade with me) gew flowers to earn their life when they were released from prison, 1985.
