> And of course here in the dark wilderness we love also cars; Finnish

> Violence is acceptable way of acting here. I think there are
> historical reasons for that. Because the Stalin´s Soviet Union
> unsucceeded to conquer Finland during the second world war this
> glorifies the violent action; it´s our best protection against the
> evil world outside. Everyman has to go to army in Finland - even I

> I have seen this dark side of Finland all my life. This is the reason

> it´s almost impossible to try to talk some sense with the native sons

> as the king of Finland but this plan never game true and during world
> war II Finland was Hitler´s Germanys ally...)

> I have read much about that financial mess in America. It looks very,

> speculators to ruin the money markets and the ordinary peoples life?
> And when things are collapsing taxpayers much save the system. And

> European newspapers that America has turned in the banking crises as
> the leading socialist power in the world! Where are those who has been

> Where is John McCain? (I think that this thing turned the game to
> Obama for good.)

> I didn´t know that there is shortage of fuel in America? This comes as

> I am heading to Berlin at the end of October. Maybe I really should

> Take care
