If you're
of the Left, you'll be interested in this article on how your
fellow-thinkers around the world are viewing the
red-in-tooth-and-claw EU, led by a Germany determined to impose its
will on the rest of Europe. Which sounds rather familiar.
Stepping
back from the detail . . . The first thing one has to conclude is
that the EU's much-vaunted 'solidarity' is a chimera. The second is that
elections and electorates don't matter when it comes to the future of
'The Project'. Finally, one has to conclude that the only way the EU
can ever succeed is as a 'benevolent/enlightened' dictatorship, led by
Germany. How likely is that?
And where
was the Spanish government during the Greek saga? Taking the hardest
of lines, it emerges. More German than the Germans. Why? Because
there's an election late this year and the governing PP party doesn't
want voters asking "Why have we gone through what we've gone
through? Why didn't you negotiate a good deal for us like the Greek
government did?" As the old Biblical saying has it - Solidarity
begins at home. In the Prime Minister's office to be exact.
A few more
T-shirt slogans noted this week:-
What's on
your mind
MEEOW
Listen to
your heart
I like
cats
Love your
bones
Win the
race
OBEY
RUGGED
Stop
waiting for Friday
And
another 3 strange pronunciations:
Protajonists
- instead of protagonists
Róbust -
instead of robúst
Páranoic
- instead of paranóic
Finally .
. . Trying to find which sites link into this blog, I saw that the
major source was one called myhealthcare.com. Going to it didn't
provide any answers but it did reveal the existence of someone
calling himself a Naturopathic Physician, Mechanotherapist,
Naprapath, Medical Massage Practitioner, Tui Na Practitioner and
Native American Healing Practitioner. Which seems to cover all the
bases. Click here, here, here and here for more on these
'alternative' therapies.
Footnote:
This is a useful site on healthcare provision for foreigners in
Spain.
