  2. It's so true...
    She said -among many other things-:
    At school, even in kindergarten, you teach us to behave in the world. You teach us:

    1. not to fight with others,
    2. to work things out,
    3. to respect others,
    4. to clean up our mess,
    5. not to hurt other creatures,
    6. to share – not be greedy.

    Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do?
    Something to think about everyday...

  3. It is a sensible speech.

    In her speech she says that she doesn't have the solution.

    I´m afraid the politians don´t either. I don´t want to be pessimistic... despite the fact that no matter what you say or do, everything is out of your hands.

    But I want to believe that sooner or later we are going to become so fed up with the current situation that we will be able to do something to change it.

    PS. Have you heard anything about Iceland ?
