They use Us, They are Us.
People like to complain about the governement, or about the contents of the media. But they do not realise that there is only one system and one world. You cannot buy your cheese, without paying some teenagers that work in a supermarket, some students that manage the facility, some multinational that cashes in and some farmer that owns a cow. You divide money that leaked into your wallet in some transfer or productions of goods, You divide it according to your personal taste and necessities. Hereby everyone involved in all the trade and production in the world has some form of control over the world.
Now offcourse almost the entire world is trying to figure how to combine personal taste with necessity, while a huge part of the worldpopulation is not bothered because of their pure effort to survive and not die.
While we in the west are debating taste and opinion, they are figuring out basic necessities.
So if money makes the world go around, who makes the money go around and what is the shopping list.
Enough hippie-crap for now, thankyou...



It was after the Gulf War that his mother and boyfriend at the time decided to 'descend' from the Holy land and set sail towards The Hague, being the birthplace of Even-Zohars
mother. Jonathan managed well in Grade school and High school, so the
next logical step was the University, the infinite source of knowledge.
After speculating on Industrial Design, Social Geography and Journalism
it was the study of History at Leiden that turned out to be his
decision.
Now, four years into the study, matters have only become more
complicated as this student advances towards World History; meaning the
complete array of fields a historian may implement in explaining the
entire past of the entire world to fellow men. It is especially the
philosophical character of World History that attracted Jonathan.
For him there is only one question that stands above all others like a
lonely chuchtower in some Flemish village, which asks the cause of the
Western Rise and the Industrial Revolution. Furthermore, the role of the
European self- and worldimage throughout its history may explain the
role of Europe in the Eurasian Human Web. Thus, the direct contact
between Islam and Christianity is to be investigated. Were Muslims
constantly on the verge of invading Europe? How did Arab people perceive
the 'barbaric' Christians? How was Science spread and how did the West
pick up knowledge form the Arabs or from further East? Europe and the
Islam are still not at peace, certainly not in the mind.
