Thank God
who ever it may be.
It seems that Tarja Halonen has won the elections and will continue another 6 years as a president. Good. What was a bit scary is that she won just by 2%, which is really… alarming. I mean her opponent was a guy who’s playing for big corporates, who says that he is on a workers side but apparently just as long as the person has work, so If a company takes the production (and jobs) to china he doesn’t have anything against it, or at least he doesn’t have anything to say to this. I actually Heard that he had said that for corporation is more important to make money than take care of ethics!! Ok, I heard so I hope this is not true, because if it is, we are in serious trouble. He got over 48% of the votes, so does 48% of finnish citicens really think that it’s more important to make money than take care of ethics and moral? Money isn’t a value! Profit isn’t a value!
All of those people who are saying to be christian, have those people voted a man who says it’s more important to make money than to take care of ethics? Without business ethics (and yes we’re heading there all the time, We actually are there already) It’s ok to take all the jobs in china, indonesia whatever. Use childlabour, pay minimum rates for employed, have people to do overtime work without extra pay and so on. Now people of finland, do you really want this to be happening here or in anywhere? Is it ok to go back to slave trading, just to make more money.
People, we are so dumb it scares the hell out of me. How can I ever equipt my children to cope with all those bastards, who don’t care or seek anything else except maximun profit for them selves. Do you really want that? And yes I do understand that it’s not such a big deal since president don’t have that much power anymore. But the outcome of these elections show the values of this country however, and I don’t like the direction. And it’s hard for me to understand that some people want to take us to this “all for me, I don’t give fuck about others” mentality. Move to america, let’s see do you like it there, the land of opportunities.
All of you who call yourself christian: What is important, the outside layer of the values inside?
Reason why I am asking this is that Tarja Halonen doesn’t belong into lutheran church, and her opponent probably does. But her values are much closer to the values I find important in christianity, than his. It’s so remarkable how humans always tend to find the outside more important than inside.
Lighter topics: Mitchell Akiyama‘s “small explosions that are yours to keep” is perfect. Listened it three times during the morning.
Found out that Henna had Arve Henriksen‘s “sakuteiki” and i’m listening to it right now. And I have quite strong feeling that next time I’ll go to digelius I’ll get this and the other solo album.
Couldn’t really write any school tasks at all.
