Hi Demetrios, I agree with your wise words. I don't want to vote this year. I'm not big fan of the candidates. Well said and well done my friend- Alexis

When we do not vote we give the opportunity to the demagogues to win the elections! Yes, I know that all are of this kind , nevertheless try to vote the lesser evil! Thank you for your generous comment dear, Alexis!

you must have put this up after I finally logged off so late last night. This is so true. I see doom written all over my country and it's been headed that way for a long time now.

My dearest, Andrea, from what I understand the whole is going to see the doom! I fear the worse: They prepare a world catastrophe for to solve the problems by eliminating the people! I pray I am wrong but I am afraid I am not! God bless all of us! Thank you!

I totally agree with you, Demi! I can speak from close brushes with politicians; luckily not all are to be discarded, but the few good ones are continually swimming against the current. ~ Have a nice day, my friend. // paul

I agree with you dear, Paul, but as I said to Victor the political parties are run by the corrupted ones and if one is not corrupted cannot do much. I have run six times, four for the Greek parliament and two for the European parliament. I always talked about justice, virtue and morality in politis, finally they exluded me from giving speaches or being on tv, representing tha party. You cannor even imagine how far they went! Thank you my dear frient for your visit!
