Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

If we could choose a god, it should be kcurie.

I've recently been discussing with a colleague who argued that it's nonsense that I, as a European, would still be "preaching" enlightenment values. One argument was that enlightenment was "on the streets" and in the books in Europe - how I'd wish...

What I wanted to write in the meta-diary was my hope that one of the goals ET should be to focus on the Anglo Diseases counter-strike now the economy of the USA is heading for the drain. Because I'm sure there will be a counter-strike, and the Europe.is.Doomed definitely reeks as one - so I guess ET is already mapping out the possible retaliatory narratives, and I'm glad. It's a matter of whether people are catching on fast enough to realise they're being lied to, again...

Hmm, maybe we need to consciously work at producing narratives, then.
