And I react to the discussion about Soros. I mean the guy is a ruthless capitalist making his money from speculations with money, but but...Carnegie does the same and yesterday the Carnegie award for an important Nordic painter was awarded. 100000 Euro to a Finnish painter. Among the chosen were 12 painters from all the Nordic countries. I know some of them privately, people with leftist opinions, voting the left parties, they don't see any contradiction among their ideas and being sponsored by Carnegie, one of the biggest banks in the world, one of Wall Streets holy cows. I attended 1996 or 1997 a conference organized by Sandy Stone's in Budapest. Guess who sponsored the whole event, Soros of course. And why is Soros to blame when we are all helping Zuckerberg to be a billionaire? I have seen many examples of Soro sharing his wealth, Bill Gates does the same through his fundation (in despite the Gates fundation don't seems to have a clue what they are sponsoring or giving money too, many African are critical towards their choice of partners). But I have not seen one occasion where Zuckerberg is giving or sharing some profit. I should really welcome a discussion where Facebook, Soros and anothers were exposed. And I know I am touching a mined terrain, I have been living with grants from the Swedish state many years, ok, grants to my writing not to myself, but... Why should a state grants be more "decent" or more "acceptable" than Soros or Facebooks's or Gates? Ana
