Eyes of the World

Lately the Swedish news have talked a lot about IPRED, FRA and the Telecoms Package and with it some criticism from the blogg community and whatnot. Funny thing is that it is around 50 person commenting those things (sometimes the same person does that a couple of times) and they claim they represent Swedish people. Yeah, right. The discussion is so infected that it is impossible to say anything without being shot down by, in this case, the side whose against it. They appear as a paranoid mob who butchers their prey without mercy. Calling anyone who don't follow them for facists or stalinists. Anything autharian and with it citing Orwells "1984". You get the idea.

At the same time some Swedish journalists makes a list of the 100 most important Swedes. Interesting, but as allways you could discuss who should be in and where, espesially what some modern sport stars are doing there, but still pretty intersting. Nr 1 was Gustav Vasa, hardly a surprise, but some of the comments was. Someone said he was a tyrann or whatever and be taen away as it is not "political correct", and this is the result of our modern way of thinking. Violence is bad, but no one seems to understand that to prosper, stability is the most important thing ever, it sets the rules. In the best of world, the communist would have been the best way of ruling. A revolution that takes away the old and unjust systems in a country and replaces it. The revolutionaries, when they see fit, steps down and let the people rule. Of course that never happened mostly because the elit became corrupt with power.

My point is, a democracy is best created from a stable organisation that has been established by violence (most of the time, can't think of any exceptions) that the democracy then takes over. Just look at Germany and Japan for some good examples. People seems to forget that states evolves into democracies or transforms, not just pops up from the ground.

PS. As a side note, some wisecracker apperently complained that it was to few women on the list. 16/100 they counted and they complain. Sometimes you focus to much about being political correct all the time. Get a life.
