Seselj in Evidence Row

I wonder if Mr. Seselj had an outburst similar to the one last year when he said he would 'f*** everyone' in the family of the judge?

I have always wondered how it is Roma are supposed to settle down if their places of settlement are destroyed? Roma strike me as being a good example of people persecuted by means of 'doublespeak'

Macedonian Businessmen Demand that New Government Start Fighting against Oligarchs
http://www.focus-fen.net/index.php?catid=123&newsid=91840&ch=0&datte=2006-07-08
These Oligarchies in post Communist states really are Kleptocracies and everyone knows it! It takes a lot of courage to insist on the Kleptocracy not being favored! Not only that, it's vital for the freedom and the economic well being and peace of all these countries, whether it's the former Soviet Union, the Balkans nations, or Latin America. Monopolies are bad business. Competition is supposed to be what makes Capitalism work. There are perhaps a few enterprises where the governent ought to be supplying a given service, basic public utilities like water, electricity, telephone service makes good sense to me, but in most cases competition is the best for all concerned. Megabusiness is in it's way as pernicious as government control and it is under even less control by the ruled.
Folklife so far has been great. I got to see some friends who have a band, 1169 is th e name of the band. They are known for their covers, but they do original work too, and I like their original work, it's very fresh and good. Well people walked out on their original work! On the upside, I got to move in closer, so that my friend Cathy, who is their lead singer could see me. This gave the band a big boost, and then they did do some cover work when they finished their own stuff. You can see why people like their cover work, it's damn good, and they put their own original touches in it too.
Today I am going to be at the park, and see other music, the day looks like it will be hot, I am not going to make purchases today, I ran into Amy. She tried to get hold of me to do announcing, I HATE to announce, it's like herding cats. I'd do it only in a dire emergency. Frankly for once I just want to have a stress free festival, much as I enjoy the Volunteer and Performer Brunch and all the other behind the scenes stuff, I don't need stress right now. So I'm going to chill and enjoy the music, and my friends and the day.
