Hi,
When are you returning to Uruguay? This conversation, at least for me, _is_ our living situation; it's not separate from the contruction across the street, my ill health, the homeless everywhere, the uber-rich driving people out of their homes. We live here. In a country where people think Obama is a secret Muslim who is not an American citizen. And what _does_ one do about depression? I have my own nightmares, but they're compounded by what this country is becoming. - Alan On Sun, 17 Oct 2010, Ana Vald?s wrote: > 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.
