i think erfurt as barna kept me away from hysteria so far. at least now some critical voices are out there. so it´s possible to read that kind of information i want to read - accepting the physicist view on information: "you never get information, you just get signals." or "information is a difference, that makes a difference" (gregory bateson) and what that should be, is not clear but subjective. with keeping the distance to interpretions, there is a chance - i hope - to digest easier. for safety reason i try to stay away from the muddy pool "meme".

but of course also here in barna there are stories told in the streets (no tv in our flat). some of the american companies fired people and closed business, using as an explaination not that they couldn´t make the second round, but the war scenario. this also happened to a company that was dealing with spanish wine. one can assume, that polish wodka now has a better chance in the us? )

nimda? you mean you got this virus????
