an odd calm


Citado deste artigo e dos comentários:

"For the time being, an odd calm prevails across the Iberian Peninsula".

"After living on the coast of Andalucia for 8 years, my perception is that the problem has three principal, and related, elements: 1] The greed stoked building boom. 2] The endemic inability of the Spanish to remember the past, imagine the future, or to care what is going on anywhere except Here and Now. 3] The distrust and disrespect of Government and Church, by people who were abandoned or abused by both for generations."

"In Spain, because of the partisan nature of politics, a sizeable proportion of the population are too stupid to put their survival first".
