I don’t normally write much about politics. Partly because I’m dumb. And partly because other people do it much better. But I thought I would just mention something from the Danish news today.<\/p>\n

9-11 didn’t go unnoticed in Denmark of course. And because of our involvement in Iraq we have become a possible target for terrorism. At least that’s what we think ourselves. So we passed some anti-terror laws. Just to be on the safe side. Now, who are the first people we go after with these laws? Al-Queda? ETA? George Bush?<\/p>\n

No. Of course the link above gave it away. We are charging Greenpeace. Greenpeace! Now I’m not a huge fan of Greenpeace. I remember getting a rather negative opinion of them some years ago. And I haven’t paid much attention to them since. But as far as I know they haven’t really started killing people, have they?<\/p>\n

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely<\/i>
