    Wow! I used CDE at the army in 1993.

    10 years ago there were Linux solutions, partly unfinished, you could recommend for a public office to adopt. Today it is more difficult as Free software runs into a complexy trap. What do you think about projects like Razor-QT who just focus on the basic stuff users wanted?

    The problem I had with Unity is that with firefox all the time windows lost focus and darkened. That rendered everything unusable.

    The trick is to lower the interest rates, the borrowing costs. That means you need a system of fiscal discipline. Then you could pour money into the nation and quickly resolve the issues.

    I guess the issue is that "war" is defined by international customs and laws. If you declare "war" on burgers and beers that is something completely different.

    In legal terms it is not "war".

    The strange thing is that the US are an advanced economy but their health care system does derive from common standards.

    That is why resistance to fiscal discipline (which was already agreed prior to the Euro) is stupid and engravates the crisis of these nations, nations which anyway wont jump off the cliff.

    The music industry is in decline. In business you always have to grow to pay the interest, otherwise you get disinvestment. Germany does not do copyright laws anymore, it is decided on the European level. The whole debate changed very much while the commercial interests remain strong. They lost the battle for the hearts. And with Retroshare there is really little defense.

    Look at the data, what ratio of military spending per citizen different nations afford. Compare the US military budget with China. Universal healthcare is common in all Occidental nations, for more than 100 years. It didn't get them bankrupt so far. (*)

    On the other hand the soviet union overspent on the military side which lead to its bankruptcy and collapse.The fact is that military spending it Keynesianism, it injects money into the economy and keep people employed and busy. Military does also not interfere with the normal market as citizens tend to buy no tanks.

    It is also well known that entering WWII spent the US out of the Great depression, war keynesianism that is.

    (*) in fact is demonstrates the lack of cohesion and ethnic union in US society that makes difficult to build the solidarity to support universal healthcare protection.

    There is no real issue in Europe, just a reshaping of the order that is delayed by politicians playing stupid and crying "austerity" for reasons of populism. Debt does not need to be "paid off".Unlike in the US we are not into "quantitative easing" (= pinting money). The eurocrisis could be solved at any time by eurobonds but that would be suicidal unless the regulatory foundations are laid.

    With hegemonial discourse I mean whose side dominiates. While the GEMA is depicted as the evil overlords today they are not in the position to exercise power as they used to do and become a driving force behind legal changes. The GEMA is in a defensive battle and they defend their status quo.

    Who said that the Arabs are willing to nuke Israel? The last nation which used nuclear arms was the United States, more than 60 yrs ago.

    When did the organisation declare conflict with the United States? In principle I don't regard it as dishonourable to defend your soil with violent means against a foreign military occupation. Moral judgements blur the line of real politique.

    Germany has a system of statutory law. Courts rule based on the law. Precedent is only set for case law of the Federal Court (which is also bound by law).
