    Inflicting this Bumptious Emiction of Turgent Agnosy on this site indicates a state of being massively uninformed.

    Sorry for replying to my own post but one could construe from my parent post that I support the right-wing block.

    Th is not applicable as I think they are even more malleable by corporate powers than the Socialdemokraterna who have long abandoned their duties to the workers.

    As a guesture of extreme dissatisfatction with the present political lineup in Sweden my vote would probablt go to the Pirate Party as a big FU to the ptitful array of parties and policies that is apparent just now.

  22. Re:Explanation of 'swedish liberal' on Sweden's Watergate · · Score: 5, Interesting

    No need for downmodding, the "Folkpartiet liberalerna are not one of the two major parties" as it's true that they belong very firmly to a grouped entity that forms the right-wing coalition in Swedish politics.

    The largest party in the opposing coalition, that is "Socialdemokraterna" is the hackee and this smaller party in the other block is the hacker, but, living in Sweden, my suspicions run deeper than this:

    *- A focus on hacking so the governors can impose higher surveillance.
          Remember the ruling Swedish coalition, with the Socialdemokraterna in the leadership;
          Taking orders from Hollywood and confiscating the Pirate Bay servers...

    *- A very Swedish joke, i.e. an easily exposed attempt
          - that shows the oppositions lack of IT-skills
              (That's a head-shot in the pre-election posturing IMHO)

    *- This breach is old news, why expose it now?

    *- Profit!! [Sorry, can't ever make a list without Profit! at the end ;-) ]

    Steve,

    Thanks for the many insights on animal behaviour with your excellent sense of humour and dramatic improvisation.

    Many's the time one thought you were about to be fck-d or otherwise retaliated against but your respect and knowledge of the creatures you showed us served to illustrate how one could make wild creatures calm down and go to a natural state which did not involve killing humans and~or humans killing them.

    Reading the sad news:

    Was this a joke or a publicity stunt?... only later did reality sink in...

    Another beacon extinguished, perhaps another will be lighted elsewhere?
