galtung is hard to listen to anyhow, because of his strange singsang. in the end he likes his visions, he likes zapatero and he - as many elders like to say - is optimistic that the young ones will find the solution: he likes the future, too.

Etymology: Greek asymmetria lack of proportion, from asymmetros ill-proportioned, from a- + symmetros symmetrical | webster
